NAME

     bt -- Buslogic/Mylex MultiMaster SCSI host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device isa
	   device scbus
	   device bt

	   In /boot/device.hints:
	   hint.bt.0.at="isa"
	   hint.bt.0.port="0x330"

DESCRIPTION

     This driver provides access to the SCSI bus connected to a Buslogic/Mylex MultiMaster or compatible controller:

	   MultiMaster "A" Series Host Adapters:

	   Adapter   Bus   Commands  Description
	   BT-742A   EISA     30     SCSI-2 (742A revisions A - G)
	   BT-542B   ISA      30     SCSI-2 (542B revisions A - G)

     Tagged queueing is supported on 'W' series adapters, 'C' series adapters with firmware of rev 4.42 and higher, and 'S' series adapters with
     firmware of rev 3.35 and higher.

     Boards with certain firmware revisions may lock up under heavy load to certain devices, especially if tagged queueing is used.  Should you
     encounter a problem with your adapter, contact Mylex technical support and ensure you have the latest firmware for your controller.

HISTORY

     The bt driver first appeared in the 386BSD patch kit.

AUTHORS

     Julian Elischer wrote a driver for the Multimaster cards that appeared in the 386BSD patch kit.  The driver was rewritten by Justin T. Gibbs
     to take advantage of new board features and work with the CAM SCSI framework in FreeBSD 3.0.

     Special thanks to Leonard N. Zubkoff for writing such a complete and well documented Mylex/BusLogic MultiMaster driver for Linux.	Support in
     this driver for the wide range of MultiMaster controllers and firmware revisions, with their otherwise undocumented quirks, would not have
     been possible without his efforts.
