DESCRIPTION
The
osiop driver provides support for the Symbios/NCR 53C710
SCSI controller chip.
For the Symbios/NCR 53C700 SCSI host adapters, use the
oosiop(4) driver.
For the Symbios/NCR 53C8xx PCI SCSI host adapters, use the
siop(4) or
esiop(4) driver.
CONFIGURATION
The
osiop driver supports the following
flags for use in
config(1) 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.
