+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+and
+.Nm sw
+.Qq Tn SCSI Weird
+drivers provide support for the
+.Tn NCR
+5380
+.Tn SCSI
+Bus Controller (SBC) chip found on various Sun Microsystems
+.Tn CPU
+motherboards (obio), and on the
+.Qq Sun-3 VME SCSI
+.Pq Sun part # 501-1236
+board used in systems with
+.Tn VME
+bus.
+.Ss sun3 and sun3x
+The
+.Tn sun3
+and
+.Tn sun3x
+version of this driver can be configured with a
+.Em flags
+directive in the
+.Xr config 1
+file.
+The values are bits in a bitfield, and are interpreted as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact -width 0x000ff
+.It 0x000ff
+Set bit (1<<target) to disable
+.Tn SCSI
+disconnect/reselect
+.It 0x0ff00
+Set bit (1<<(target+8)) to disable
+.Tn SCSI
+parity checking
+.It 0x10000
+Set this bit to disable
+.Tn DMA
+interrupts (poll)
+.It 0x20000
+Set this bit to disable
+.Tn DMA
+entirely (use PIO)
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Qq flags 0x1000f
+would disable
+.Tn DMA
+interrupts, and disable disconnect/reselect for targets 0-3.
+The
+.Qq target
+is the
+.Tn SCSI
+ID number of a particular device on a particular
+.Tn SCSI
+bus.
+.Ss sun4
+The
+.Tn sun4
+version of this driver can also be configured with a
+.Em flags
+directive in the
+.Xr config 1
+file.
+The values are bits in a bitfield, and are interpreted as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact -width 0x01
+.It 0x01
+Use
+.Tn DMA
+.Pq may be polled
+.It 0x02
+Use
+.Tn DMA
+completion interrupts
+.It 0x04
+Allow
+.Tn SCSI
+disconnect/reselect
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Qq flags 0x07
+would enable
+.Tn DMA ,
+interrupts, and reselect.
+By default,
+.Tn DMA
+is enabled in the
+.Tn sun4
+driver.

+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Tn VME
+variant has a bit to enable or disable the
+.Tn DMA
+engine, but that bit also gates the interrupt line from the
+.Tn NCR5380
+.Pq !! .
+Therefore, in order to get any interrupt from the
+.Tn NCR5380 ,
+(i.e. for reselect) one must clear the
+.Tn DMA
+engine transfer count and then enable
+.Tn DMA .
+This has the further complication that you CAN NOT touch the
+.Tn NCR5380
+while the
+.Tn DMA
+enable bit is set, so we have to turn
+.Tn DMA
+back off before we even look at the
+.Tn NCR5380 .
+.Pp
+Support for the Sun 4/100
+.Nm sw
+.Qq Tn SCSI Weird
+is not complete.
+.Tn DMA
+works, but interrupts (and, thus, reselection) don't for reasons unknown.
+Further progress has halted pending the availability of a machine for testing.
+.Pp
+.Tn DMA ,
+.Tn DMA
+completion interrupts, and reselection work fine on a Sun 4/260 with modern
+.Tn SCSI-II
+disks attached.
+There have been reports of reselection failing on
+.Tn Sun
+Shoebox-type configurations where
+there are multiple non-SCSI devices behind
+.Tn Emulex
+or
+.Tn Adaptec
+bridges.
+These devices pre-date the
+.Tn SCSI-I
+spec, and might not behave the way the NCR5380 code expects.
+For this reason, only
+.Tn DMA
+is enabled by default in the
+.Tn sun4
+driver.
