Introduction

The DC-310 series has two adapters: 

DC-310U

, an 

Ultra-SCSI

 adapter based on the

Symbios Logic SYM53C860 SCSI Chip, and 

DC-310

, a 

Fast SCSI-2

 adapter based on

SYM53C810 SCSI Chip. Designed to provide a low cost, easy to implement SCSI solution,
this adapter utilises the built-in Symbios Logic SCSI BIOS (SDMS BIOS version 4.x) on
supported mainboards, such as Tekram P5 VX/TX and P6/Pentium_II series.

Fully Plug & Play and PCI 2.1 compliant, enhanced SCSI features include

Disconnect/Reconnect

Scatter/Gather

, and 

Tag Queuing

 to greatly improve overall system

performance, particularly under multitasking environments.

Jumper-less hardware design

Active SCSI Bus Termination, 

and 

32-bit PCI DMA Bus

Mastering

 are a few more of the advanced features built-in to the DC-310 series adapters,

providing the best performance and ease of use possible

.
