+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aha
+.Nd Adaptec SCSI host adapter driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device scbus"
+.Cd "device aha"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+aha_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In
+.Pa /boot/device.hints :
+.Cd hint.aha.0.at="isa"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver provides access to the
+.Tn SCSI
+bus connected to the Adaptec AHA-154x and AHA-1640 SCSI host adapters.
+x is 0 for controllers without a floppy drive and 2 for controllers
+that have them.
+For optimum
+performance, Adaptec AHA-174x controllers should be configured in
+enhanced mode and attached via the
+.Xr ahb 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+One device hint entry for every card to be attached by the system is
+required.
+Specific values for the port address, IRQ, and DRQ may be specified.
+If wildcard values are used, the driver will query the device for its
+current settings and use those.
+If the port address
+is a wildcard, the driver consults an internal table of possible port address
+locations and attaches to the first unattached card it finds.
+The possible
+port addresses for this card are 0x330, 0x334, 0x230, 0x234, 0x130, and
+0x134.
+.Pp
+The AHA-1640 is an MCA bus card.
+Since the MCA bus is a self-identifying bus, no setting of hints is
+required.
+.Sh HARDWARE

+.Nm
+driver supports the following SCSI host adapters:

+.Sh BUGS
+The AHA-154xA card does not support residuals on data transfers.
+As a result, this card is no longer supported.
+.Pp
+There have been some reports that the AHA-154xB does not work well
+under heavy load.
+.Pp
+The AHA-154xCP is a plug and play controller.
+However, its resources are set using the on-board BIOS and cannot be
+moved.
+Failures to attached for this card are often caused when the resources
+set in the BIOS conflict.
