Adaptec AIC-6360Q
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. This makes the AIC-6360 an ideal I/O solution for high performance, single-user desktop and portable systems.| Part No. | AIC-6360Q |

II Overview Embedding the AIC-6360 increases reliability, reduces cost and eliminates the need for a traditional host adapter card. The AIC-6360 is an upgraded version of the AIC-6260 and is pin- and softwarecompatible with that chip. It is also software-compatible with the AHA-1510/1520/ 1522 family of host adapters. The AIC-6360 can connect to any of the growing number of currently available SCSIcompatible peripherals, including fixed disk drives, high-capacity floppy drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and removable media drives. The AIC-6360 hardware has a sustained data transfer capability of up to 10 MBytes/second and can perform Fast SCSI-2 transfers at up to 10 MBytes/second on the SCSI bus. The AIC-6360 allows the host computer to access the SCSI bus with flexibility, while at the same time automating the more time-consuming SCSI functions like selection and reselection. The AIC-6360 supports 8-bit and 16-bit data transfers with 2nd party DMA or programmed I/O (PIO). It also supports 32-bit double-word PIO transfers for increased efficiency and transfer rates.
