ABSTRACT:

The adss.tar.Z file contains The adss - Adaptec 1510,1520 and 
1522 Driver support for UnixWare 1.0.  The UnixWare adsshba 
driver supports the Adaptec 1510, 1520 and 1522 Host Bus Adapter 
Cards.  The adsshba driver also reportedly works (but is not certified) 
with the 6260 Host Bus Adapter card as a secondary controller.  A 
working UNIX system is required to make an IHV HBA diskette for use 
at installation time.

SYMPTOM

Support needed for the Adaptec 1510, 1520, 1522 Host Bus Adapter card 
or the 6260 Adaptec Host bus adapter card.

SOLUTION

Apply the adss file.

Installation Instructions:

DATATYPE: compressedtar

1.  Download the adss.tar.Z and the adss.txt files to the /tmp directory
    on your machine.

2.  Read the release notes contained in this file.

3.  Now become root, and add the package to your system using the following
    commands: (This assumes that adss.tar.Z is in the /tmp directory, 
    and that /tmp is the working directory.)

     $su
          (become the super user)
     #mkdir ihv
          (make a directory to hold the files)
     #cp adss.tar.Z ihv
          (copy file into ihv directory)
     #cd ihv
          (make ihv the working directory)
     #uncompress adss.tar.Z
          (uncompress the file)
     #tar xvf adss.tar
          (un tar the file)
     #rm adss.tar
          (remove the tar file)
     #/usr/sbin/format /dev/rfd0
          (format diskette1)*
     #mkfs  -F s5 /dev/dsk/f0t 2844:711 2 36
          (make file system on diskette1)*
     #mount -F s5 /dev/dsk/f03ht /mnt
          (mount diskette)*
     #find . -print | /bin/cpio -pmud /mnt
          (copy files to diskette)

Solution Specifics

RELEASE NOTES 

The UnixWare adsshba driver supports the Adaptec 1510, 1520 and 1522 
Host Bus Adapter Cards.  The adsshba driver also reportedly works 
(but is not certified) with the 6260 Host Bus Adapter card as a 
secondary controller.

The adsshba driver has been certified on the 1510, 1520 and 1522 
cards for the following configuration only:

     Data Transfer Mode:           PIO
     Boot Operation:                    Enabled
     Synchronous Negotiation:      On
     Disconnection by Target SCSI Device:    Allowed
     SCSI ID:                 7
     IRQ:                     10
     I/O Port Address:             340-35E
     Host BIOS Address:            D8000
     HBA DMA Channel:              0
     SCSI Parity:                  Enabled
     Floppy Controller:            Disabled
     Floppy DMA Channel:           2
     Floppy IRQ:                   6
     Floppy Dual-speed spindle:         Disabled

If the adsshba driver is being installed during UnixWare installation, the
user should set the adapter board to the above configuration, as the
installation expects it.  If the adsshba driver is being installed after
UnixWare has been installed, other configurations may work.

RESTRICTION:  The adsshba driver will only work on systems with less than 3
Host Bus Adapter cards installed. 

For specific information on how to configure the Adaptec hardware, refer to
the instructions given in the Adaptec Installation Guides.
