NAME
     adw -- Advansys PCI 16bit SCSI Host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS
     controller	pci
     controller	adw

     For one or	more SCSI busses:
     controller	scbus0 at adw0

DESCRIPTION
     This driver provides access to the	16bit SCSI bus connected to the
     Advanced Systems Products,	Inc.  ASC3550 Ultra, and ASC38C0800 Ultra2,
     SCSI Host Adapter chips.  AdvanSys	products incorporating these chips
     include the ABP[3]940UW, ABP950UW,	ABP970UW, ABP3940U2W, and ABP3950U2W.
     Both chips	support, synchronous transfers (20MHz and 40MHz	max respec-
     tively), 16bit transfers, tagged queueing,	and up to 253 concurrent SCSI
     transactions.

     Per target	configuration performed	in the AdvanceWare menu, which is
     accessible	at boot, is honored by this driver.  This includes synchro-
     nous/asynchronous transfers, maximum synchronous negotiation rate,	wide
     transfers,	disconnection, tagged queueing,	and the	host adapter's SCSI
     ID.  The global setting for the maximum number of tagged transactions
     allowed per target	is not honored as the CAM SCSI system will automati-
     cally determine the maximum number	of tags	a device can receive as	well
     as	guarantee fair resource	allocation among devices.
