NAME
osiop —
Symbios/NCR 53C710 SCSI
driver
SYNOPSIS
osiop* at gsc? irq 9 (hppa)
DESCRIPTION
The osiop driver provides support for the
Symbios/NCR 53C710 SCSI controller chip.
The Symbios/NCR 53C700 SCSI controller is handled by the oosiop(4) driver, while the Symbios/NCR 53C8xx PCI SCSI host adapters are handled by the siop(4) driver.
CONFIGURATION
The osiop driver supports the following
flags
for use in config(8) 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.
