- Version 1.13 of BusLogic Family SCSI Adapter Device Driver for NEXTSTEP
- Release 3.2 for Intel Processors
-
- OVERVIEW:
-
- BusLogic Family SCSI adapter device driver lets you take advantage of
- the following SCSI adapters:
- Manufacturer Adapter PC Bus
- Bus Logic 445S VL-Bus
- Bus Logic 747S EISA
-
- The driver replaces the NeXT's universal Adaptec154xDriver on mentioned
- cards. Driver uses 32-bit addressing mode, therefore the disk performance
- is a little bit better on computers with more than 16 MB RAM. The
- increase of the performance is according to DrivePerformance.app about
- 8% on 486DX2/66 with 32 MB RAM and 1.2 GB TOSHIBA MK538FB SCSI-2 drive.
