Introduction

The 

 BT-956C and BT-956CD (BT-956X) 

 Wide SCSI Host

Adapters are intelligent 

 to SCSI bus master host adapters based on

BusLogic-designed, universal ASIC technology. Each provides a high-per-

formance interconnection between the Peripheral Component Intercon-

nect (PCI) bus and up to fifteen Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)

peripheral devices. The BT-956X offers device driver support for major in-

dustry standard operating systems as well as operating systems with em-

bedded 

 device drivers.
