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)
· Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
· NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)

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.
