Well, the full story is :
Portbase = 0x340 this is jumpered on the board
IRQ = 9 this too is jumpered on the board
SCSI ID = 7 which is fairly standard
recconect is enabled
parity is enabled
synchronous is enabled
delay = 500
extended translation is disabled
thus we get the command
insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1,0,500,0
and for a glorious half hour last night that seemed to be accepted so that
when I checked KDE/Information/IRQ against 9 it said AHA152x and against
KDE/Information/Ports against 340 it said AHA152x.
dmesg identified the board and wqas suggesting ftape as a tape device - even
though that didn't seem to work.
Anyway, now the command insmod etc no longer works, I have the same error
message I started with:
Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/scsi/aha152x.o: init_module:
Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by
incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters
and dmesg says:
aha152x: BIOS test: passed, detected 1 controller(s)
aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x340, IRQ=9, SCSI ID=7, recconect=enabled
parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=500, extended
translation=disabled
aha152x: trying software interrupot, lost.
aha152x: IRQ 9 possibly wrong. Please verify.
So in the words of the prophet and philosopher Foul Ole Ron - 'buggrit,
millenium hand and shrimp, I tole 'em.' (Explanations upon request :o) )
So if anyone has any valid suggestions for my problem...

Daryl
(ps Valid suggestions for my problem do NOT include 'rub ointment on it'!)
