.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "sii0 at mainbus"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
THe
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the
|
|
.Tn DEC
|
|
SII scsi adaptor ASIC used in
|
|
the DECstation 2100, 3100, and 5100, and in the VAXstation 3100.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a medium-performance implementation of the SCSI-I common set
|
|
supporting synchronous and asychronous SCSI devices. The SII cabling
|
|
is unusual: the bulkhead connector is very similar to a standard
|
|
submicro wide SCSI-II connector, but has the other gender.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
chip only supports DMA to or from a fixed window in memory.
|
|
The driver use this area as a bounce buffer, copying data to and
|
|
from the DMA region.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver
|
|
first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver only supports the
|
|
.Nm oldscsibus
|
|
higher-level layer, and the
|
|
.Nm rz
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm tz
|
|
devices, which first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 /pmax.
|
|
It should be re-written to support the
|
|
.Nm scsibus
|
|
machine-independent higher-level SCSI layer and the
|
|
.Nm sd ,
|
|
.Nm st ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm cd
|
|
drivers. This is
