NAME

adw - Advansys PCI 16bit SCSI Host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

device pci
device adw
For one or more SCSI busses:
device scbus

DESCRIPTION

This driver provides access to the 16bit SCSI bus connected
to the
Advanced Systems Products, Inc. ASC3550 Ultra, and
ASC38C0800 Ultra2,
SCSI Host Adapter chips. Both chips support, synchronous
transfers
(20MHz and 40MHz max respectively), 16bit transfers, tagged
queueing, and
up to 253 concurrent SCSI transactions.
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,
wide transfers, 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 sys
tem will automatically determine the maximum number of tags a device can
receive as
well as guarantee fair resource allocation among devices.
