A few weeks ago, I said I'd see what I could do about
writing some preliminary drivers for MCA support under
ELKS.
Wow. Talk about biting off more than I could chew.
I did a lot of library research, looking through books
and manuals for technical information about MCA
architecture. I found a lot.
I followed the links posted to this list by a few
other members. I found more technical information
there.
I learned a couple of things:
1) I'm not going to get any code written any time
soon unless I quit school and quit my job and devote
all my time to "fun" coding like this.
2) MCA has nothing to do with hard disk controller
architecture in old PS/2's. I thought it did. I was
wrong. Old PS/2's had ESDI, some had SCSI, and a few
even had IDE controllers.
None of the information I researched has been typed up
yet. All of it exists as handwritten notes. Would
transcribing those notes and posting them to this list
be appropriate?
