SYNOPSIS

asc* at vsbus? csr 0x25000080 (VS-4000/9x)

DESCRIPTION

The asc driver provides support for the NCR 53c94-based SCSI host adapter on the VAXstation 4000 series, and for the PMAZ-AA and related TURBOchannel SCSI adapter option boards (also on the VAXstation 4000 series models which include support for the TURBOchannel adapter).

CONFIGURATION

The asc driver supports the following flags for use in config(1) files:

bits 0-7:

disable disconnect/reselect for the corresponding SCSI target

bits 8-15:

disable synchronous negotiation for SCSI target

“Target” is synonymous with SCSI ID number.

Note that SCSI tape drives should be allowed to perform disconnect/reselect or performance will suffer.
