30.Sh NAME
31.Nm adw
32.Nd Advansys PCI 16bit SCSI Host adapter driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd controller pci
35.Cd controller adw
36.Pp
37For one or more SCSI busses:
38.Cd controller scbus0 at adw0
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40This driver provides access to the 16bit
41.Tn SCSI
42bus connected to the Advanced Systems Products, Inc.
43.Tn ASC3550 Ultra ,
44and
45.Tn ASC38C0800 Ultra2 ,
46SCSI Host Adapter chips.
47AdvanSys products incorporating these chips include the
48.Tn ABP[3]940UW ,
49.Tn ABP950UW ,
50.Tn ABP970UW ,
51.Tn ABP3940U2W ,
52and
53.Tn ABP3950U2W .
54Both chips support, synchronous transfers
55(20MHz and 40MHz max respectively),
5616bit transfers, tagged queueing,
57and up to 253 concurrent SCSI transactions.
58.Pp
59Per target configuration performed in the
60.Tn AdvanceWare
61menu, which is accessible at boot,
62is honored by this driver.
63This includes synchronous/asynchronous transfers,
64maximum synchronous negotiation rate, wide transfers, disconnection,
65tagged queueing, and the host adapter's SCSI ID.
66The global setting for the maximum number of tagged transactions allowed
67per target is not honored as the CAM SCSI system will automatically determine
68the maximum number of tags a device can receive as well as guarantee fair
69resource allocation among devices.
