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.
