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 controller chips
do not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE¶
The adapters supported by the
aic driver include:
- Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
- Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B
(ISA)
- Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B
(ISA)
- Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B
(ISA)
- Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
- Creative Labs SoundBlaster
SCSI host adapter (ISA)
- Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B,
AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
- Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P
(PC98)
- NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)

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.
