User`s manual

Preface
The Single Board Computers SCSI Software UserÕs Manual describes the SCSI
Software, a building block for SCSI services. It is intended for developers who have a
working knowledge of SCSI. In the context of this manual, SCSI Software describes the
Firmware used to control the NCR53C710 SCSI I/O Processor (SIOP) used on the
Motorola Single Board Computers containing that chip. It does not include operating
system speciÞc device drivers.
Throughout this manual, the term Single Board Computer (SBC) refers to any of the
MVME162/162LX/166/167/187/197 series of CPU boards.
A working knowledge of the SCSI-2 SpeciÞcation is assumed. To use this manual, you
should be familiar with the publications listed in the Related Documentation section in
Chapter 1.
The SCSI Software described in this manual is written to be independent of any
particular operating system. The SCSI Software is used by Motorola-supplied SYSTEM
V/68, SYSTEM V/88, VMEexec, and the onboard ROM or FLASH Debuggers
(MVME162Bug, etc.). It can be adapted to work with nearly all software running on
these boards. Only the interface routines described in Appendix C must be provided
external to the SCSI Software.
Note
This manual replaces the MVME167/MVME187 Single Board
Computers SCSI Software UserÕs Manual, MVME187FW/D1 ,
which is obsolete.
