case, software cursor now optional case. Driver must provide
raw things (what hardware do for us, exactly) as default case,
all driver features must be _optional_. Modern VGAs have internal
configuration utilities to set cursor shape/blinking which stored
into cards ROM, and syscons nuke out such features completely
by forcing software cursor. Moreover, software cursor is hard
to distinguish on standouted (or near standouted) fields and
tends to disappearse from the screen.
Set "flags 0x4" to enable software cursor now.

o Don't draw cursor if saver or blinker is active.

More optimizations. Replace generic bcopy routine with bcopy_3

Initialize SIMODE1 and SXFRCTL1 from the kernel in ahc_init instead of
at each selection/reselection since this is expensive and only needs to
be done once. Condense function returns into previous instruction if possible.
Reorder some sections to kill superflous jumps. These optimizations kill
the ~150k/s penalty adding support for Twin/Wide cards was costing since
the last place in the commaon path of execution where we had to do ugly,
convoluted testing for the type of card in the sequencer has gone away.

sio.c and sioreg.c changed to allow autodetecting the RB_SERIAL flag
passed by the boot blocks so that the kernel can switch to 'serial
console' mode automagically. 'options COMCONSOLE' can still be specified
to force the kernel to always use the serial port as a console.
CONUNIT and CONADDR can also be specified in the kernel config file
if the user wants to shift the console to a different port.
(SCSI control block) instead of having the host PIO it down. Also
reimplement WDTR and SDTR optimization to remove code in the sequencer

yeilds the same performance.
properly from the beginning:
1) The `kern_devconf' struct should be a part of the driver's
`softc' structure (now it is).
2) The `description' should say what the device actually is,
rather than just giving a model number (now it does).
3) The device should be registered even if the probe fails, so
that it can be reconfigured later.
4) For netifs, the device state should follow the IFF_UP flag.
Other network interfaces should follow this example. (Please?) Eventually
there should be a rundown routine doing the equivalent of setting IFF_UP
off, and perhaps more if warranted.
sense retrieval code that messed up CDROM devices. This code will also

protected drive at open() time has been *totally bogus*! The guy who

correct console number for the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl. Invalid console numbers
caused waiting on an invalid pointer.
Use bcopyw() instead of move_up() and move_down(). bcopyw() handles
overlapped copies and should be faster. Actually use bcopy(). bcopy()
is slightly faster if video memory is 16-bit and about twice as fast if
it is 32-bit. bcopy() is said to fail on someGA's, but syscons already
depends on it working for other accesses to video memory.
You can now sling 14 devices off of a 274xT. In the process of adding
twin channel support, I removed all evident restrictions on supporting
Wide channeled devices, but I do not have a Wide controller to test them
on.
aic7770_seq.h, the pre-compiled header, is no longer needed since config
handles this dependancy.
- /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c doesn't quite know how to deal with SMC EtherEZ
ethernet cards. The EtherEZ looks just like the Elite Ultra, except it
has only 8K of shared memory. The only way to have it properly detected
is to zero and test a few bytes of memory just about the first 8K region.
If it clears properly, it's an Elite Ultra, otherwise it's an EtherEZ.
I've also got an EtherEZ patch for netboot (Makefile, ether.c and ether.h).
- /sys/i386/isa/syscons.c wraps at the next to the last column rather than
the last column, like it should. You don't really notice this unless you
use certain programs that write all the way out to, say, the 80th column,
like VMSmail. Along with a one-line fix for this are some changes to
implement a non-blinking cursor. Put 'options "NOBLINK_CURSOR"' in your
config file and give it a try. :)

worked in the past only because of good fortune. Anyway, use the contig alloc

Specifying just read can have unexpected consquences.
Now floppy tape support is *disabled* unless you specifically
request otherwise. Poul wanted it this way, and I guess I'm not going to argue
though it may seem counter-intuitive. We can always change it back, later.
make the sequencer code fully compatible with the aic7870 (ie 294x adaptors).
I've also added to my local mods putting the sequencer into "FASTMODE" clock.
This gives upwards of 2M/sec write preformance improvement in some scenarios.

6) added support for reading Zynx address ROM
7) fixed bug that caused broadcasts to not work shortly after booting (only
manifested if not using multicast - e.g. not in FreeBSD 2.0)
8) fixed spelling errors in comments

a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.
Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in
progress on getting both channels and running.
I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have
been submitted to the author.

tty buffer overflows per second and logging them all amplified the
problems. This problem was less serious in 1.1.5.
Avoid a race in the check for starting a new block of output. com_events
was sometimes messed up and siopoll() looped endlessly. This bug was
introduced in 2.0.
Clean up previous 2 commits. Rename sio_registerdev() to sioregisterdev()

. avoid resetting the FDC every time the last motor is going off;
instead, give it a 60-second period for possible later reactivation.
This prevents us from needing to recalibrate the FDC too often,
but still allows for an ``automagic error recovery', just in case the
controller is absolutely stuck. (Simply wait for 60 seconds, and
try it again.)
. made the floppy head settle time after a seek a constant

on *my* drives.)
. implement the FD_DEBUG ioctl command, in case the driver

Fix endless loop in siopoll() for an event on a tty with no tty struct.
Don't generate unwanted interrupts in the serial console driver. These

Support polled mode. To use it, leave out the irq and the vector in
