I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch30.gz
- Boot sector changes for 2.88Mbyte floppies.
- A semaphore now is used for block read/write completion. Gets rid of
the swapping flag created in the previous patch (1.1.29).
- Change the floppy driver so a single drive can have three or more
different formats.
- Some SCSI Toshiba CD-ROM's think they're disks, not roms.
- All the assembly language subroutines is now marked __volatile__.
- TCP Fastpath is out again.
