43 This driver provides access to the
45 bus connected to the Adaptec AHA-154x and AHA-1640 SCSI host adapters.
46 x is 0 for controllers without a floppy drive and 2 for controllers
49 performance, Adaptec AHA-174x controllers should be configured in
50 enhanced mode and attached via the
54 One device hint entry for every card to be attached by the system is
56 Specific values for the port address, IRQ, and DRQ may be specified.
57 If wildcard values are used, the driver will query the device for its
58 current settings and use those.
60 is a wildcard, the driver consults an internal table of possible port address
61 locations and attaches to the first unattached card it finds.
63 port addresses for this card are 0x330, 0x334, 0x230, 0x234, 0x130, and
66 The AHA-1640 is an MCA bus card.
67 Since the MCA bus is a self-identifying bus, no setting of hints is
72 driver supports the following SCSI host adapters:
86 Adaptec AHA-174x in 154x emulation mode
88 DTC 3290 SCSI controller in 1542 emulation mode
90 Tekram SCSI controllers in 154x emulation mode
93 The AHA-154xA card does not support residuals on data transfers.
94 As a result, this card is no longer supported.
96 There have been some reports that the AHA-154xB does not work well
99 The AHA-154xCP is a plug and play controller.
100 However, its resources are set using the on-board BIOS and cannot be
102 Failures to attached for this card are often caused when the resources
103 set in the BIOS conflict.
