ADV(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ADV(4)NAMEadv — Advansys ISA/VL/EISA/PCI 8bit SCSI Host adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
For one or more ISA or VL cards:
device isa
device adv0 at isa? port ? irq ? drq ?
For one or more EISA cards:
device eisa
device adv
For one or more PCI cards:
device pci
device adv
For one or more SCSI busses:
device scbus0 at adv0
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:
1. 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.
2. This board has been sold by Iomega as a Jaz Jet PCI adapter.
3. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i540 SpeedMaster.
4. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i542 SpeedMaster.
5. This board has been sold by SIIG as the Fast SCSI Pro PCI.

For ISA or Vesa Local Bus adapters, one kernel config entry is required
for every card to be attached by the system. Specific values for the
port address, irq, and drq may be specified. If wildcard values are
used, the driver will query the device for its current settings and use
those. If the port address is a wildcard, the driver consults an inter‐
nal table of possible port address locations and attaches to the first
unattached card it finds. The possible port addresses for these card are
0x110, 0x130, 0x150, 0x190, 0x210, 0x230, 0x250, and 0x330.
Per target configuration performed in the AdvanceWare menu, which is
accessible at boot, is honored by this driver. This includes synchro‐
nous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous negotiation rate, dis‐
connection, 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.
