57 driver provides support for AMCC's 3ware 9000/9500/9550/9650 series
60 These controllers are available in 4, 8, 12 or 16-port configurations,
61 and support the following RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50.
62 The device nodes for the controllers are of the form
63 .Pa /dev/twa Ns Ar X ,
66 is the controller number.
67 The driver is implemented as a SCSI SIM
68 under CAM, and, as such, the logical units that it controls are accessible
73 is the logical unit number.
77 driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:

124 Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in
126 .Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
127 followed by a text description of the error.
128 There are other error messages and warnings that the
129 driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
130 If the driver is compiled with
132 defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
133 messages, the quantity of which varies depending on the value assigned to
139 driver and manpage were written by
