[Linux-gpib-general] success!

[Sridhar A. <sa...@es...>]

Frank - thanks for all you help and work!
I successfully spoke with my Tek scope and got its identity back!

BUT...(there is always a but!) if I eject the card while the interface 
is active (for example running ``ibtest''), my computer hangs.  If I
exit from ibtest first, then there is no problem.

Here is what I did:

I edited `/etc/gpib.conf' (the only change from the orig is the
board_type parameter.  (should any of the others be changed for a
pcmcia card?)

interface {
        minor = 0               /* minor = 0 uses /dev/gpib0, minor = 1 uses /de
v/gpib1, etc. */
        board_type = ines_pcmcia                /* type of interface board being
 used */
        pad = 0         /* primary adress of interface             */
        sad = 0         /* secondary adress of interface           */
        timeout = 3s            /* timeout for commands */

        eos = 0x0a          /* EOS Byte */
        set-reos yes    /* Terminate read if EOS */
        set-bin no      /* Compare EOS 8-bit */

/* settings for boards that lack plug-n-play capability */
        base = 0        /* Base io ADDRESS                  */
        irq  = 0        /* Interrupt request level */
        dma  = 0        /* DMA channel (zero disables)      */

        master yes       /* interface board is system controller */
}

--

I also added a script : /etc/pcmcia/linux-gpib-pcmcia,
but right now it does nothing (it is called by cardmgr when an
insertion or removal is seen).  Should there be something in there?

There should be some graceful way to eject the card at any
time...without hanging the computer.

Thanks for everything!
Sridhar.
