NAME

ahd — Adaptec PCI/PCI-X AIC79xx-based Ultra320 SCSI interface

SYNOPSIS

.Cd "ahd* at pci?" .Cd "scsibus* at ahd?"

DESCRIPTION

ahd provides access to the SCSI bus(es) connected to Adaptec AIC79xx host adapter chips.

ahd supports narrow and wide buses; synchronous and asynchronous operation; fast, ultra, ultra2, ultra160, and ultra320 (packetized) transfers; tagged queuing and 512 SCBs.

ahd does not support target mode operation.

The ahd driver supports the following:

To compile in debugging code: .Cd option AHD_DEBUG .Cd option AHD_DEBUG_OPTS=

The AHD_DEBUG_OPTS option is used to control which diagnostic messages are printed to the console when AHD_DEBUG is enabled. Logically OR the following bits together:

"Value 0x0001 Show miscellaneous information 0x0002 Show sense data 0x0004 Show Serial EEPROM contents 0x0008 Show bus termination settings 0x0010 Show host memory usage 0x0020 Show SCSI protocol messages 0x0040 Show mode pointer of the chip register window 0x0080 Show selection timeouts 0x0100 Show FIFO usage messages 0x0200 Show Queue Full status 0x0400 Show SCB queue status 0x0800 Show inbound packet information 0x1000 Show S/G list information 0x2000 Enable extra diagnostic code in the firmware

Per target configuration performed in the SCSI-Select menu, accessible at boot, is honored by this driver. This includes synchronous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous negotiation rate, wide transfers, disconnection, and the host adapters SCSI ID.
