34.Dt ZSSC 4 amiga
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm zssc
37.Nd Zeus low level SCSI interface
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "zssc0 at zbus0"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Tn Amiga
43architecture uses a common machine independent scsi sub-system
44provided in the kernel source.  The machine independent
45drivers that use this code access the hardware through a
46common interface. (see
47.Xr scsibus 4 )
48This common interface interacts with a machine dependent interface,
49such as
50.Nm zssc ,
51which then handles the hardware specific issues.
52.Pp
53The
54.Nm
55interface handles things such as DMA and interrupts as well as
56actually sending commands, negotiating synchronous or asynchronous
57transfers and handling disconnect/reconnect of SCSI targets.
58The hardware that
59.Nm
60uses is based on the NCR53c710 SCSI chip.
61.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
62.Bl -diag
63.It zssc%s: abort %s: dstat %02x, sstat0 %02x sbcl %02x
64The scsi operation %s was aborted due to error.  Dstat, sstat and
65sbcl are registers within the NCR53c710 SCSI chip.
66.It siop id %d reset\n"
67The NCR53c710 SCSI chip has been reset and configure at id %d.
68.It SIOP interrupt: %x sts %x msg %x sbcl %x
69The NCR53c710 SCSI chip has interrupted unexpectedly.
70.It SIOP: SCSI Gross Error
71The NCR53c710 SCSI chip has indicated that it is confused.
72.It SIOP: Parity Error
73The NCR53c710 SCSI chip has indicated that it has detected a
74parity error on the SCSI bus.
