.Sh NAME
.Nm aic
.Nd Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device aic"
.Pp
In
.Pa /boot/device.hints :
.Cd hint.aic.0.at="isa"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI
controller chips.
Many systems that use these controller chips do not have a boot ROM
and therefore cannot be booted from.
.Sh HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the
.Nm
driver include:

.Sh 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 appears to work better than the ISA version, but
that may be due to differing levels of testing of the devices.
