Add references to the ahc driver to the other adaptec man pages. Remove the "NOTE" section of the ahb man page that complained about Adaptec's NDA policy preventing 274x driver development.

Adaptec VL/EISA/PCI SCSI host adapter driver

For one or more tape devices:

For one or more cdroms:

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides access to SCSI devices connected to an Adaptec
|
|
274x, 284x, 294x, or motherboard based aic7770/aic7870 hostadapter.
|
|
Features include twin and wide bus support, 2 commands per target in
|
|
non-tagged queuing mode, and experimental tagged queuing support enabled
|
|
with:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.Cd "option AHC_TAGENABLE
|
|
.sp
|
|
Per target configuration performed in the SCSI-Select menu, accesible at boot
|
|
in non-EISA models or throught an EISA configuration utility for EISA models,
|
|
is honored by this driver with the stipulation that the BIOS is enabled for
|
|
EISA adaptors. This includes syncronous/asyncronous transfers, disconnection,
|
|
and maximum syncronous negotiation rate settings.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note that I/O addresses are determined automatically by the probe routines,
|
|
but care should be taken when using a 284x (VLB controller) in an EISA
|
|
system. Ensure that the jumpers setting the I/O area for the 284x match the
|
|
EISA slot into which the card is inserted to prevent conflicts with other
|
|
EISA cards.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Some Quantum drives (at least the Empire 2100 and 1080s) will not run on an
|
|
aic7870 in syncronous mode at 10MB/s. It is speculated that the Adaptec
|
|
runs slightly above 10MB/s causing the drive much confusion. Setting a
|
|
maximum syncronous negotiation rate of 8MB/s in the SCSI-Select utility
|
|
will allow normal function.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The SCSI ID of aic7870 based controllers (AHA-294x) is hard coded to 7 by
|
|
the driver. The user configured ID can be obtained by querying the SEEPROM
|
|
or NVRAM where these settings are stored, but there is no driver support for
|
|
this as of yet.
