WDSC(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual (SGIMIPS) WDSC(4)

NAME

wdscWestern Digital WD33c93 SCSI Bus Interface Controller

SYNOPSIS

wdsc* at hpc? offset ?

DESCRIPTION

The wdsc driver provides an abstraction layer between the SCSI hardware found in multitudinous SGI machines (including Personal Iris series, Indigo, Indy, Challenge S, Indigo2, and Challenge M) and the machine independent SCSI drivers described in scsibus(4).

In addition to sending the required SCSI commands to target devices on the SCSI bus, the wdsc driver deals with DMA, device interrupts, sync/async negotiation, and target disconnects/reconnects.
