SCSI device arguments

General Notation

iobase

The first I/O port that the SCSI device occupies, nor 

mally between the values: 0x200 and 0x3ff

irq

The hardware interrupt that the SCSI card is configured

to use.

scsi id

The host adapter's ID on the SCSI bus. Some adapters

allow this value to be changed but most don't. Many

adapters use ID of seven, however, the Seagate and dg 

bFuture Domain TMC 950 cards used ID of six.

parity

Specifying a 1 tells the card to expect the SCSI devices

to report parity. Setting this to 0 has the opposite effect.

As with the scsi id not all adapters accept this argument.
