NAME¶
adv
—
Advansys ISA/VL/EISA/PCI 8bit SCSI Host adapter
driver
SYNOPSIS¶
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
configuration file:
device scbus
device adv
For one or more EISA cards:
device eisa
For one or more VL/ISA cards:
device isa
In

hint.adv.0.at="isa"
For one or more PCI cards:
device pci
DESCRIPTION¶
This driver provides access to the 8bit SCSI bus connected to the Advanced
Systems Products, Inc. ASC900, ASC1000, ASC1090, ASC1200, ASC3030, ASC3050,
and ASC3150 host adapter chips. The following tables list the AdvanSys
products using these chips, their bus attachment type, maximum sync rate, and
the maximum number of commands that can be handled by the adapter
concurrently.

Footnotes:
- This board has been shipped by HP with the 4020i CD-R drive. The board has
no BIOS so it cannot control a boot device, but it can control any
secondary SCSI device.
- This board has been sold by Iomega as a Jaz Jet PCI adapter.
- This board has been sold by SIIG as the i540 SpeedMaster.
- This board has been sold by SIIG as the i542 SpeedMaster.
- This board has been sold by SIIG as the Fast SCSI Pro PCI.

Per target configuration performed in the AdvanceWare menu, which is accessible
at boot, is honored by this driver. This includes synchronous/asynchronous
transfers, maximum synchronous negotiation rate, 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 system will automatically determine the maximum number of tags a device
can receive as well as guarantee fair resource allocation among devices.
