NAME

       socal - Serial Optical Controller for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (SOC+) device driver

SYNOPSIS

       socal@sbus-slot,0

DESCRIPTION

       The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is an SBus card which implements two full duplex Fibre Channel interfaces.  Each Fibre Channel interface
       can connect to a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL).

       The  socal device driver is a nexus driver and implements portions of the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of FC-AL.

FILES

       /kernel/drv/socal       ELF Kernel Module
