.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides access to the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
bus connected to an
|
|
.Tn Adaptec
|
|
274x, 284x, 2940, 3940, or controllers based on the
|
|
.Tn AIC7770,
|
|
.Tn AIC7850,
|
|
.Tn AIC7860,
|
|
.Tn AIC7870,
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn AIC7880
|
|
host adapter chips.
|
|
Features include support for twin and wide busses, ultra
|
|
.Tn SCSI ,
|
|
two active commands at a time per non-tagged queueing target, tagged queuing,
|
|
and SCB paging which allows up to 255 active commands on all adapters
|
|
except those using
|
|
.Tn AIC7770
|
|
chips prior to revision E.
|
|
Tagged queueing is enabled with the
|
|
.Dq Dv AHC_TAGENABLE
|
|
configuration option.
|
|
SCB paging is enabled with the
|
|
.Dq Dv AHC_SCBPAGING_ENABLE
|
|
configuration option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Per target configuration performed in the
|
|
.Tn SCSI-Select
|
|
menu, accesible at boot in
|
|
.No non- Ns Tn EISA
|
|
models or through an
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
configuration utility for
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
models,
|
|
is honored by this driver with the stipulation that the
|
|
.Tn BIOS
|
|
must be enabled for
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
adaptors.
|
|
This includes synchronous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous
|
|
negotiation rate, disconnection, and the host adapter's SCSI ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that I/O addresses are determined automatically by the probe routines,
|
|
but care should be taken when using a 284x
|
|
.Pq Tn VESA No local bus controller
|
|
in an
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
system.
|
|
Ensure that the jumpers setting the I/O area for the 284x match the
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
slot into which the card is inserted to prevent conflicts with other
|
|
.Tn EISA
|
|
cards.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Some
|
|
.Tn Quantum
|
|
drives (at least the Empire 2100 and 1080s) will not run on an
|
|
.Tn AIC7870
|
|
Rev B in synchronous mode at 10MHz.
|
|
Controllers with this problem have a 42 MHz clock crystal on them
|
|
and run slightly above 10MHz, causing the drive much confusion.
|
|
Setting a maximum synchronous negotiation rate of 8MHz in the
|
|
.Tn SCSI-Select
|
|
utility will allow normal function.
