INTRODUCTION
The DC-390 series is a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus to PCI bus host
adapter, which complies to the PCI 2.1 specification with Plug-&-Play (PnP) readiness. The
maximum SCSI devices supported are: DC-390/390U (7) and DC-390F (15). By using the
Disconnect/Reconnect technique, performance degradation during multitasking operations is
prevented. Other enhanced SCSI-2 features such as scatter-gather and command-tag queuing
are supported.
The DC-390 series supports ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) managers for
most of the operating systems available today to assure operation with popular third party
applications.
Device drivers are also supported for the major operating systems for compatibility with a
full range of SCSI peripherals including CD-ROMs, Photo CDs, tape backups, scanners,
removable media and SCSI hard drives.
