.Sh NAME
.Nm aic
.Nd Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device aic"
.Pp
In
.Pa /boot/device.hints :
.Cd hint.aic.0.at="isa"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI
controller chips.
This includes the Adaptec AHA-1505, AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B, AHA-1520A,
AHA-1520B, AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B, AHA-1535 and the Creative Labs
SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter on the ISA bus.
The AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C and AHA-1460D PC Card cards are
also supported by this driver.
On the pc98 platform, support is provided for the Adaptec AHA-1030P
and AHA-1030B, as well as the NEC PC-9801-100.
.Pp
Many systems that use these controller chips do not have a boot ROM
and therefore cannot be booted from.
.Sh 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.
