NAME

blogic − low-level module for BusLogic host bus adapters

SYNOPSIS

blogic@reg

AVAILABILITY

x86

DESCRIPTION

The blogic module provides low-level interface routines between the common disk/tape I/O subsystem and the BusLogic bus master SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) controllers.  The blogic module can be configured for disk and streaming tape support for one or more host bus adapter boards, each of which must be the sole initiator on a SCSI bus.  Auto configuration code determines if the adapter is present at the configured address and determines what types of devices are attached to to the adapter. 

Supported BusLogic Adapters

The following table describes the BusLogic host adapters supported by the blogic module.
