NAME
     ahb -- Adaptec EISA SCSI host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS
     device ahb
     device scbus

DESCRIPTION
     This  driver  provides  access  to  the  SCSI  bus  connected to an Adaptec
     AHA-1740, AHA-1742, AHA-1740A, AHA-1742A host adapters in "enhanced"  mode.
     Tagged queueing and synchronous SCSI transfers are supported.

CAVEATS
     The  Adaptec  174X  is  very  sensitive  to  SCSI bus termination and cable
     length.  It may also have difficulties operating with some  modern  devices
     that,  due to their speed, expose timing problems in the controller.  There
     are no known mechanisms for working around device incompatibilities of this
     nature.

AUTHORS
     The ahb driver was written by Justin T. Gibbs.
