• Can we kill SPOCK yet? [Turbo-diddle C8EFn.ADF ?]

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 25 13:42:35 2023
    What is the present thoughts on disabling system board SCSI and using an adapter implementation that can load it's BIOS into RAM?

    Disable, -OR- somehow allow an adapter to load it's BIOS _instead_ of
    the on-board Tribble / SPOCK?

    Might be the answer is in the C8EFn.ADF? I -THINK- that C8EFn exec
    places the firmware in RAM and it always uses SLOT 0. Can we
    turbo-twiddle a process where the SCSI adapter with the lowest SCSI
    address has it's BIOS crammed into RAM?

    System board SCSI BIOS [firmware] loaded into RAM
    System board SCSI <"3540-3547">
    Adapter SCSI 3548-354F

    Adapter SCSI BIOS [firmware] loaded into RAM
    Adapter SCSI <"3540-3547">
    System board SCSI 3548-354F
