osiop4

Symbios/ncr 53c710 scsi driver

Usage

osiop* at gsc? irq 9 (hppa)

Overview

The osiop driver provides support for the Symbios/NCR 53C710 SCSI controller chip.

The Symbios/NCR 53C700 SCSI controller is handled by the oosiop(4) driver, while the Symbios/NCR 53C8xx PCI SCSI host adapters are handled by the siop(4) driver.

Configuration

The osiop driver supports the following flags for use in config(8) files:

bits 0-7:

disable disconnect/reselect for the corresponding SCSI target

bits 8-15:

disable synchronous negotiation for SCSI target

bits 16:

disable DMA interrupts

"Target" is synonymous with SCSI ID number.

Note that SCSI tape drives should be allowed to perform disconnect/reselect or performance will suffer.
