9.6 SCSI Interface
This section, which describes the use of the Dual SCSI ASIC, covers the following
topics:
Differences among 300, 400/500, and 600/700/800/900 models (Section 9.6.1)
Dual SCSI ASIC configuration (Section 9.6.2)
53C94 configuration and programming (Section 9.6.3)
53CF94-2 configuration and programming (Section 9.6.4)
Initiation of DMA transfers (Section 9.6.5)
Aborting Transactions (Section 9.6.6)
9.6.1 SCSI Interface: Differences Among Models
Table 35 lists the differences among 300, 400/500, and 600/700/800/900 models.

9.6.2 Dual SCSI ASIC Configuration
The Dual SCSI ASIC requires reconfiguration after a hardware reset for
TURBOchannel.
This includes the configuration of the ASIC as well as that of the 53C94 and
53CF94-2. It also includes the initiation of DMA transactions in the ASIC.
It does not include the actions required in the NCR 53C94 Advanced SCSI
Controller or NCR 53CF94-2 Fast SCSI Controller. References to the 53C94 and
53CF94-2 registers must be made in sparse I/O space.
Two registers must be reconfigured:
Control interrupt register
CIR <11:8> (the DMA Enable and ~Reset bits) must be set to 1. CIR <31:24>
(parity error masks and enables) must be set when parity is to be checked.
Other masks and enables are cleared to 0.
Interrupt mask enable register
IMR <5:0> (the DMA error interrupt mask and enable ) must be set to 1.
I/O Programming 9–15
