sii
driver provides support for the DEC SII SCSI
adaptor ASIC used in the DECstation 2100, 3100, and 5100.
The sii
is a medium-performance
implementation of the SCSI-I common command set supporting synchronous and
asynchronous SCSI devices.
The SII cabling is unusual: the bulkhead connector is very similar to a standard submicro wide SCSI-II connector, but has the other gender.
The sii
chip only supports DMA to or from
a fixed window in memory. The driver uses this "window" area as a
bounce buffer, copying data to and from the DMA region.
sii
driver first appeared in
4.4BSD.
