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.
