-drivers, the

-driver should be listed first in the kernel configuration file. This

-driver probes for Adaptec 154x boards.

+Tagged queueing and synchronous SCSI transfers are supported.
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The Adaptec 174X is very sensitive to SCSI bus termination and cable
+length. It may also have difficulties operating with some modern devices
+that, due to their speed, expose timing problems in the controller. There
+are no known mechanisms for working around device incompatibilities of
+this nature.
