ncr -- NCR MCA SCSI host adapter driver

Description

NOTE: This driver is no longer supported by SCO, however, it is still provided with SCO OpenServer for your convenience. Contact your hardware vendor for support.

ncr is the device driver for NCR 53C90, 53C94, 53C700, and 53C710 MCA SCSI host adapter cards.

Refer to the Compatible Hardware Web Pages. to determine the support status of your host adapter, or contact your system supplier.

Configuring the ncr driver

You can configure the ncr driver using entries in /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice and /etc/conf/sdevice.d/ncr. See mdevice(F) and sdevice(F). Changes to these files will only take effect if the kernel is relinked using link_unix(ADM) and the machine rebooted.

Configure ncr driver-specific characteristics by editing the /etc/conf/pack.d/ncr/space.c file.

Boot time configuration of SCSI

Use the bootstring(HW) parameters to override the default hardware configuration information. Of special interest are the adapter= parameter that specifies information for the host adapter card that plugs into or is part of the motherboard, and the periph= parameter that specifies information about the host adapter being used by one of the generic peripheral interfaces (Sdsk, Srom, or Stp).

Diagnostics

See messages(M) for general information about kernel error messages, including a list of generic device driver errors.
