NAME
adv - Advansys ISA/VL/EISA/PCI 8bit SCSI Host adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
For one or more ISA or VL cards:
device isa
device adv
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.adv.0.at="isa"
For one or more EISA cards:
device eisa
device adv

DESCRIPTION
- This driver provides access to the 8bit SCSI bus connected
- to the
Advanced Systems Products, Inc. ASC900, ASC1000, ASC1090, - ASC1200,
ASC3030, ASC3050, and ASC3150 host adapter chips. The fol - lowing tables
list the AdvanSys products using these chips, their bus at - tachment type,
maximum sync rate, and the maximum number of commands that - can be handled
by the adapter concurrently.
Connectivity Products:- Adapter Bus Floppy MaxSync Commands

1. This board has been shipped by HP with the 4020i - CD-R drive.
The board has no BIOS so it cannot control a boot - device, but
it can control any secondary SCSI device. - 2. This board has been sold by Iomega as a Jaz Jet
- PCI adapter.
3. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i540 - SpeedMaster.
4. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i542 - SpeedMaster.
5. This board has been sold by SIIG as the Fast SCSI - Pro PCI.

- Per target configuration performed in the AdvanceWare menu,
- which is
accessible at boot, is honored by this driver. This in - cludes synchronous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous negoti
- ation rate,
disconnection, tagged queueing, and the host adapter's SCSI - ID. The
global setting for the maximum number of tagged transactions - allowed per
target is not honored as the CAM SCSI system will automati - cally determine
the maximum number of tags a device can receive as well as - guarantee fair
resource allocation among devices.
