DESCRIPTION

     The esp driver provides support for the NCR 53C90, 53C94 and 53C96; Emulex ESP100, ESP100A, ESP200 and ESP406; and Qlogic FAS216 and FAS408
     SCSI controller chips found in a wide variety of systems and peripheral boards.  This includes the Qlogic ISA and VLB SCSI host adapters, and
     the Sun Fast SCSI buffered Ethernet for Sbus (FSBE/S, X1053A, Sun part # 501-2015).

     For Qlogic PCI SCSI host adapters, use the isp(4) device.

CONFIGURATION

     The esp 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 the corresponding SCSI target
     bits 16-23:  disable tagged queuing for the corresponding 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.

DESCRIPTION

     The si and sw "SCSI Weird" drivers provide support for the NCR 5380 SCSI Bus Controller (SBC) chip found on various Sun Microsystems CPU
     motherboards (obio), and on the "Sun-3 VME SCSI" (Sun part # 501-1236) board used in systems with VME bus.

   sun3 and sun3x
     The sun3 and sun3x version of this driver can be configured with a flags directive in the config(1) file.	The values are bits in a bitfield,
     and are interpreted as follows:

	   0x000ff  Set bit (1<<target) to disable SCSI disconnect/reselect
	   0x0ff00  Set bit (1<<(target+8)) to disable SCSI parity checking
	   0x10000  Set this bit to disable DMA interrupts (poll)
	   0x20000  Set this bit to disable DMA entirely (use PIO)

     For example: "flags 0x1000f" would disable DMA interrupts, and disable disconnect/reselect for targets 0-3.  The "target" is the SCSI ID num-
     ber of a particular device on a particular SCSI bus.

   sun4
     The sun4 version of this driver can also be configured with a flags directive in the config(1) file.  The values are bits in a bitfield, and
     are interpreted as follows:

	   0x01  Use DMA (may be polled)
	   0x02  Use DMA completion interrupts
	   0x04  Allow SCSI disconnect/reselect

     For example: "flags 0x07" would enable DMA, interrupts, and reselect.  By default, DMA is enabled in the sun4 driver.

BUGS

     The VME variant has a bit to enable or disable the DMA engine, but that bit also gates the interrupt line from the NCR5380 (!!).  Therefore,
     in order to get any interrupt from the NCR5380, (i.e. for reselect) one must clear the DMA engine transfer count and then enable DMA.  This
     has the further complication that you CAN NOT touch the NCR5380 while the DMA enable bit is set, so we have to turn DMA back off before we
     even look at the NCR5380.

     Support for the Sun 4/100 sw "SCSI Weird" is not complete.  DMA works, but interrupts (and, thus, reselection) don't for reasons unknown.
     Further progress has halted pending the availability of a machine for testing.

     DMA, DMA completion interrupts, and reselection work fine on a Sun 4/260 with modern SCSI-II disks attached.  There have been reports of res-
     election failing on Sun Shoebox-type configurations where there are multiple non-SCSI devices behind Emulex or Adaptec bridges.  These
     devices pre-date the SCSI-I spec, and might not behave the way the NCR5380 code expects.  For this reason, only DMA is enabled by default in
     the sun4 driver.
