NAME
siop - LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx SCSI interface

SYNOPSIS
siop* at pci?

# hppa
siop* at mainbus? irq 3
siop* at phantomas? irq 3
siop* at uturn? irq 3

DESCRIPTION
The siop driver provides support for following LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx and related SCSI controller chips:

-   53c720 and 53c770 (Fast-Wide SCSI)
-   53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI)
-   53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI)
-   53c860 (Ultra SCSI)
-   53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI)
-   53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI)
-   53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet)
-   53c895 and 53c895a (Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
-   53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
-   53c1010 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra3-Wide SCSI. NOTE: at this time siop supports at most Ultra2-Wide with this chip)
-   53c1510D (dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)

siop replaces the older ncr driver which supported most of these devices.

Older 53C700 and 53C710 controllers are supported by the oosiop(4) and osiop(4) drivers, respectively.

AUTHORS
-nosplit The siop driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer@lip6.fr> for NetBSD. It was ported to OpenBSD with 53c1010 support added by Ken Westerback <krw@openbsd.org> using code from the FreeBSD sym-2 driver written by Gerard Roudier <groudier@FreeBSD.org>.
