I recently got a Sun Sparc 10 Ultra with Solaris 10 installed on it. Now I'm trying to connect my SCSI Jaz drive to it. I moved my Adaptec AHA-2940U PCI SCSI card from my XP PC (where it was working OK) to the Sun and that's about as far as I got.
I did a probe-scsi-all and got nothing back, just another "OK" prompt. I logged in and did this:
But I'm not sure what to make of that. I found some reference to this card for Solaris 10 here (URL to page on unix.derkeiler.com removed to satisfy forum poster)
but I'm not really sure if that's what I need. According to a page on doc.oracle.com, the 2940U is "supported by the cadp driver" (whatever that is).
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring this one out before I go stumbling around making a mess of things. Thanks!

AHB(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AHB(4)NAME
ahb -- Adaptec EISA SCSI host adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ahb
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ahb_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to the SCSI bus connected to an Adaptec AHA-174X host adapters in ``enhanced'' mode. Tagged queueing and syn-
chronous SCSI transfers are supported.
HARDWARE
The ahb driver supports the following SCSI host adapters:
o Adaptec AHA-1740
o Adaptec AHA-1742
o Adaptec AHA-1740A
o Adaptec AHA-1742A
CAVEATS
The Adaptec 174X is very sensitive to SCSI bus termination and cable length. It may also have difficulties operating with some modern
devices that, due to their speed, expose timing problems in the controller. There are no known mechanisms for working around device incom-
patibilities of this nature.

The ahb driver was written by Justin T. Gibbs.
