NAME

       aic — Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

       device aic

       In /boot/device.hints:
       hint.aic.0.at="isa"

DESCRIPTION

       The  aic  driver  provides  support  for  the  Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips.  Many
       systems that use these controller chips do not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.

HARDWARE

       The adapters supported by the aic driver include:

       •   Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
       •   Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
       •   Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
       •   Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
       •   Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
       •   Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
       •   Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)

BUGS

       The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus.  The driver works well with  devices
       like CDROMs and Tape drives.  The driver works not so well with disk drives.  The PC Card version appears
       to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing levels of testing of the devices.
