Functional Description
The second option is to provide mainboard and system BIOS support for
NVS. The SCSI core may then be enabled or disabled using the SCSI
BIOS configuration utility. Not all versions of the LSI Logic drivers support
this capability.
The third option is to have the system BIOS not report the existence of
the SCSI controller chips when the SCSI BIOS and operating systems
make PCI BIOS calls. This approach requires modifications to the
system BIOS and assumes the operating system uses PCI BIOS calls
when searching for PCI devices.
2.2.18 Chained Block Moves
Since the LSI53C896 has the capability to transfer 16-bit wide SCSI
data, a unique situation occurs when dealing with odd bytes. The
Chained Move (CHMOV) SCRIPTS instruction along with the Wide SCSI
Send (WSS) and Wide SCSI Receive (WSR) bits in the
register are used to facilitate these situations. The
Chained Block Move instruction is illustrated in
