NAME
mesh —
Apple Macintosh Enhanced SCSI
Hardware driver
SYNOPSIS
mesh* at obio? flags 0xffff
scsibus* at mesh?
DESCRIPTION
The
mesh driver provides support for the SCSI host adapters
found on most supported models with on-board SCSI. The Apple Network Server
models use the
esp(4) and
esiop(4) devices for SCSI, not
mesh.
Models supported by
mesh are:
- Apple PowerBook (2400, 3400,
G3, and G3 Series)
- Apple PowerBook (G3 Series
(bronze keyboard))
- Apple Power Macintosh/Performa
(4400, 54xx, 5500, 6300/160, 6360, 6400, and 6500)
- Apple Power Macintosh (7300,
7500, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, and 9600)
- Apple Workgroup Server
8550
- Apple Power Macintosh G3
(Beige G3)
- APS Tech (M*Power
604e/200)
- Motorola StarMax (3000, 4000,
5000, and 5500)
- Power Computing (PowerBase,
PowerCenter, PowerCenter Pro, PowerCurve, PowerTower, PowerTower Pro, and
PowerWave)
- UMAX (Apus 2000, Apus 3000,
C500, and C600)
- UMAX (J700, S900)
Some models have a separate SCSI bus dedicated to external devices using the
esp(4) device. On these systems,
the
mesh SCSI bus is operated in SCSI ‘Fast’
mode (10 MB/s) and the external
esp(4) bus is operated at 5
MB/s. This applies only to the following models:
- Apple Power Macintosh (7300,
7500, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, and 9600)
- Power Computing (PowerCenter,
PowerCenter Pro, PowerCurve, PowerTower, PowerTower Pro, and
PowerWave)
