Ciprico Rimfire 3880 Network Card User Manual


 
Preface
This manual is intended to instruct you on how to install and use the
Rimfire® 3880 (RF3880) SCSI Host Bus Adapter. This adapter is
essentially compatible with the Ciprico® RF3500 series of adapters.
The Target Mode feature available on the RF3880 allows you to use
this adapter as either an initiator or target on the SCSI bus.
This manual provides the information necessary to change an existing
driver written for the RF3500 series of adapters, or write a new board
driver to take advantage of the advanced operation possible with the
RF3880.
Organization
Two levels of information are provided in this manual:

that explain processes or features of the RF3880. You should turn to
these chapters for insights into usage of the RF3880 or a particular
feature.
