NAME
     bt	-- Buslogic/Mylex MultiMaster SCSI host	adapter	driver

SYNOPSIS
     To	compile	this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device isa
	   device scbus
	   device bt

	   In /boot/device.hints:
	   hint.bt.0.at="isa"
	   hint.bt.0.port="0x330"

DESCRIPTION
     This driver provides access to the	SCSI bus connected to a	Buslogic/Mylex
     MultiMaster or compatible controller:

	   MultiMaster "W" Series Host Adapters:

	   Adapter   Bus   Commands  Description
	   BT-948    PCI     192     Ultra SCSI-3
	   BT-958    PCI     192     Wide ULtra	SCSI-3
	   BT-958D   PCI     192     Wide Differential Ultra SCSI-3

	   MultiMaster "C" Series Host Adapters:

	   Adapter   Bus   Commands  Description
	   BT-946C   PCI     100     Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-956C   PCI     100     Wide Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-956CD  PCI     100     Wide Differential Fast SCSI-2

	   MultiMaster "S" Series Host Adapters:

	   Adapter   Bus   Commands  Description
	   BT-445S   VLB      30     Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-747S   EISA     30     Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-747D   EISA     30     Differential Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-757S   EISA     30     Wide Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-757D   EISA     30     Wide Differential Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-545S   ISA      30     Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-542D   ISA      30     Differential Fast SCSI-2
	   BT-742A   EISA     30     SCSI-2 (742A revision H)
	   BT-542B   ISA      30     SCSI-2 (542B revision H)

	   MultiMaster "A" Series Host Adapters:

	   Adapter   Bus   Commands  Description
	   BT-742A   EISA     30     SCSI-2 (742A revisions A -	G)
	   BT-542B   ISA      30     SCSI-2 (542B revisions A -	G)

     Tagged queueing is	supported on 'W' series	adapters, 'C' series adapters
     with firmware of rev 4.42 and higher, and 'S' series adapters with
     firmware of rev 3.35 and higher.

     Boards with certain firmware revisions may	lock up	under heavy load to
     certain devices, especially if tagged queueing is used.  Should you en-
     counter a problem with your adapter, contact Mylex	technical support and
     ensure you	have the latest	firmware for your controller.

HISTORY
     The bt driver first appeared in the 386BSD	patch kit.

AUTHORS
     Julian Elischer wrote a driver for	the Multimaster	cards that appeared in
     the 386BSD	patch kit.  The	driver was rewritten by	Justin T. Gibbs	to
     take advantage of new board features and work with	the CAM	SCSI framework
     in	FreeBSD	3.0.

     Special thanks to Leonard N. Zubkoff for writing such a complete and well
     documented	Mylex/BusLogic MultiMaster driver for Linux.  Support in this
     driver for	the wide range of MultiMaster controllers and firmware revi-
     sions, with their otherwise undocumented quirks, would not	have been pos-
     sible without his efforts.
