# NAME

asc — VAXstation 4000 SCSI controller

# SYNOPSIS

asc* at vsbus? csr 0x200c0080 (VS-4000/60 or VLC)
asc* at vsbus? csr 0x25000080 (VS-4000/9x)
asc* at tc? (Not yet supported)
scsibus* at asc?

# DESCRIPTION

The asc driver provides support for the NCR 53c94-based SCSI host adapter on the VAXstation 4000 series, and for the PMAZ-AA and related TURBOchannel SCSI adapter option boards (also on the VAXstation 4000 series models which include support for the TURBOchannel adapter).

# CONFIGURATION

The asc 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 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.
