NAME

osiop — Symbios/NCR 53C710 SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

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.
