31 .Nd Advansys PCI 16bit SCSI Host adapter driver
33 To compile this driver into the kernel,
34 place the following lines in your
35 kernel configuration file:
36 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
42 This driver provides access to the 16bit
44 bus connected to the Advanced Systems Products, Inc.
47 .Tn ASC38C0800 Ultra2 ,
48 SCSI Host Adapter chips.
49 Both chips support, synchronous transfers
50 (20MHz and 40MHz max respectively),
51 16bit transfers, tagged queueing,
52 and up to 253 concurrent SCSI transactions.
54 Per target configuration performed in the
56 menu, which is accessible at boot,
57 is honored by this driver.
58 This includes synchronous/asynchronous transfers,
59 maximum synchronous negotiation rate, wide transfers, disconnection,
60 tagged queueing, and the host adapter's SCSI ID.
61 The global setting for the maximum number of tagged transactions allowed
62 per target is not honored as the CAM SCSI system will automatically determine
63 the maximum number of tags a device can receive as well as guarantee fair
64 resource allocation among devices.
68 driver supports SCSI controllers including:
72 AdvanSys ABP940UW/ABP3940UW
99 from the Linux driver written by
101 of Advanced System Products, Inc.
102 Many thanks to AdvanSys for providing the original driver
