Drivers for UNIX
After configuring your system for use with the SCSI adapter, you
need to install software drivers so that your operating system
recognizes and accesses the SCSI devices.
If you are using the UNIX operating system, you may need to
install the UNIX SCSI Manager. You can use this device driver
with SCO® UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2, Version 2.0, and with
SCO Open Desktop@ Release 1.1.
You need to install the UNIX SCSI Manager only if you plan to use
your SCSI adapter card in Enhanced mode. If you plan to use the
SCSI adapter card in Standard mode, the UNIX operating system
provides the necessary support. If you choose to install the UNIX
SCSI Manager when you are using the SCSI adapter in Standard
mode, UNIX will access the UNIX SCSI Manager instead of the
original UNIX driver.
Note
To use the UNIX SCSI Manager, you must have the Link Kit installed
on your system.
Using the UNIX SCSI Manager, you can use your SCSI adapter in
Standard mode or Enhanced mode. In Standard mode, use the ad
driver.
In Enhanced mode, you use the eiad driver and the SCSI adapter
card uses the enhanced capabilities of EISA. Additionally, the eiad
driver implements SCSI-II tagged queuing and scatter-gather
capabilities for increased performance.
