NAME
aic - Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
- The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and
- AIC-6360
SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these con - troller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.

The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
- +o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
+o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
+o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
+o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
+o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
+o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
+o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC - Card)

BUGS
- The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the
- SCSI bus. The
driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. - The driver
works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version ap - pears to work
better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differ - ing levels of
testing of the devices. - BSD November 8, 2003
