🌸 NAME 🌸

njs — the Workbit NinjaSCSI-32 PCI/CardBus SCSI driver, no cap, that's literally her whole job 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

njs* at pci? dev ? function ?
njs* at cardbus? function ?

look at those two lines, so simple, so iconic 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the njs driver is out here providing support for these Workbit Bus-Master PCI/CardBus Ultra Narrow SCSI controller chips, and there are exactly two of them, periodt:

  • NinjaSCSI-32Bi — a CardBus / PCMCIA dual mode device (it's literally nicknamed “DuoSCSI” 😭). Important vibe check: this driver supports the CardBus mode only. respectfully.
  • NinjaSCSI-32UDE — a PCI / CardBus device with DualEdge transfer capability, maxing out at 40MB/s 🔥 that's the headline, she's fast.

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, DualEdge transfer is not currently supported. so like, that 40MB/s DualEdge capability on the NinjaSCSI-32UDE? yeah, the driver's not doing that yet, bestie, don't come for her 🙈

and that's the whole page, written in the Kernel Interfaces Manual, Debian flavour, dated August 26, 2004 — so the manpage itself is NJS(4), periodt 💜 stay slay, go read your scsi(4) ✨
