.Sh NAME
.Nm wdsc
.Nd Western Digital WD33c93 SCSI Bus Interface Controller
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "wdsc* at hpc?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides an abstraction layer between the SCSI hardware
found in multitudinous SGI machines (including Personal Iris series,
Indigo, Indy, and Indigo2) and the machine independent SCSI drivers
described in
.Xr scsibus 4 .
.Pp
In addition to sending the required SCSI commands to
target devices on the SCSI bus, the
.Nm
driver deals with DMA, device interrupts, sync/async negotiation,
and target disconnects/reconnects.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr hpc 4 ,
.Xr scsibus 4
.Sh HISTORY
Wayne Knowles ported the sgi incarnation of the
.Nm
driver from the amiga and atari ports.
It first appeared in
.Ox 3.6 .
.Sh BUGS
The current
.Nm
driver should be blown away and replaced with a machine independent
version as variants also exist in the amiga, atari, and mvme68k ports.
