handle termination automatically, eliminating the need to open up the PC
every time you need to make termination changes.

software onboard to handle MS-DOS disk-drive operations without requiring
additional system-based drivers.
• Support for all other major operating systems. The Adapter includes drivers

• SmartSCSI™ Setup Utility program. You can use this firmware utility to
customize the Adapter's configuration. Unless you need to hardwire
termination, you don't have to set any jumpers at all.
• Built-in Integrated Scatter/Gather Engine (ISGE™). This hardware circuitry
heightens performance in all scatter/gather operations.
• 256-byte FIFO. The Adapter uses a 256-byte FIFO caching buffer to manage
PCI-to-SCSI-bus structure timing for data and command transfer.
• Command queueing. With this special feature, the Adapter can process as
many as 255 simultaneous SCSI commands.
