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.
