Common problems and solutions
The AHA-2910Bi host adapter provides a powerful multitasking inter-
face between your computer’s PCI bus and internal SCSI devices (disk
drives, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, removable-media drives, etc.).
The host adapter supports the SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMati-
cally) protocol, which automatically assigns SCSI IDs to SCAM com-
patible devices. The following figure shows the major components of
the 2910Bi host adapter.
Adaptec’s software drivers enable you to use AHA-2910Bi host adapt-
ers in computers running DOS/Windows
®
, OS/2, Windows 95,
MacOS, Windows NT™, UNIX, and NetWare.
