AIC-6360 Datasheet (Adaptec) - PC-AT bus to SCSI bus host adapter

AIC-6360, PC-AT bus to SCSI bus host adapter

II Overview The AIC-6360 is a single chip PC-AT® bus to SCSI bus host adapter designed to bring the power and connectivity of SCSI to the computer system motherboard.

This chip provides all of the functionality needed to implement a SCSI-2 bus in one 68-pin PLCC, 80-pin QFP or 100-pin TQFP package.

Embedding the AIC-6360 increases reliability, reduces cost and eliminates the need for a traditional host adapter card.

This makes the AIC-6360 an ideal I/O solution for high performance, single-user

AIC-6360 Features

* such as Disconnect/Reconnect on the SCSI bus. Disconnect/Reconnect frees the host CPU while peripherals execute time-consuming functions such as seeks. Up to eight simultaneous I/O tasks can be run in the background, and the driver also allows interrupts from the host CPU. Automatic Request Sense ca
