+
+2. Version History
+   6.2.36 (June 3rd, 2003)
+        - Correct code that disables PCI parity error checking.
+        - Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residue
+          message.  The previous code would fail to report a residual
+          if the transaction data length was even and we received
+          an IWR message.
+        - Add support for the 2.5.X EISA framework.
+        - Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface.
+        - Correct Domain Validation command-line option parsing.
+        - When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, send
+          an SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the target
+          knows we are async.  This works around a firmware defect
+          in the Quantum Atlas 10K.
+        - Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that we
+          don't disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray write
+          by some other driver probe that occurred before we
+          claimed the controller.
+
+   6.2.35 (May 14th, 2003)
+        - Fix a few GCC 3.3 compiler warnings.
+        - Correct operation on EISA Twin Channel controller.
+        - Add support for 2.5.X's scsi_report_device_reset().
+
+   6.2.34 (May 5th, 2003)
+        - Fix locking regression instroduced in 6.2.29 that
+          could cuase a lock order reversal between the io_request_lock
+          and our per-softc lock.  This was only possible on RH9,
+          SuSE, and kernel.org 2.4.X kernels.
+
+   6.2.33 (April 30th, 2003)
+        - Dynamically disable PCI parity error reporting after
+          10 errors are reported to the user.  These errors are
+          the result of some other device issuing PCI transactions
+          with bad parity.  Once the user has been informed of the
+          problem, continuing to report the errors just degrades
+          our performance.
+
+   6.2.32 (March 28th, 2003)
+        - Dynamically sized S/G lists to avoid SCSI malloc
+          pool fragmentation and SCSI mid-layer deadlock.
+
+   6.2.28 (January 20th, 2003)
+        - Domain Validation Fixes
+        - Add ability to disable PCI parity error checking.
+        - Enhanced Memory Mapped I/O probe
+
+   6.2.20 (November 7th, 2002)
+        - Added Domain Validation.
+
+3. Command Line Options
+
+        WARNING: ALTERING OR ADDING THESE DRIVER PARAMETERS
+                 INCORRECTLY CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE.
+                 USE THEM WITH CAUTION. 
+
+   Edit the file "modules.conf" in the directory /etc and add/edit a
+   line containing 'options aic7xxx aic7xxx=[command[,command...]]' where
+   'command' is one or more of the following:
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: verbose
+          Definition: enable additional informative messages during
+                      driver operation.
+     Possible Values: This option is a flag
+       Default Value: disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: debug:[value]
+          Definition: Enables various levels of debugging information
+     Possible Values: 0x0000 = no debugging, 0xffff = full debugging
+       Default Value: 0x0000
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: no_probe
+              Option: probe_eisa_vl
+          Definition: Do not probe for EISA/VLB controllers.
+                      This is a toggle.  If the driver is compiled
+                      to not probe EISA/VLB controllers by default,
+                      specifying "no_probe" will enable this probing.
+                      If the driver is compiled to probe EISA/VLB
+                      controllers by default, specifying "no_probe"
+                      will disable this probing.
+     Possible Values: This option is a toggle
+       Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default.
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: pci_parity
+          Definition: Toggles the detection of PCI parity errors.
+                      On many motherboards with VIA chipsets,
+                      PCI parity is not generated correctly on the
+                      PCI bus.  It is impossible for the hardware to
+                      differentiate between these "spurious" parity
+                      errors and real parity errors.  The symptom of
+                      this problem is a stream of the message:
+    "scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during address or write data phase"
+                      output by the driver.
+     Possible Values: This option is a toggle
+       Default Value: PCI Parity Error reporting is disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: no_reset
+          Definition: Do not reset the bus during the initial probe
+                      phase
+     Possible Values: This option is a flag
+       Default Value: disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: extended
+          Definition: Force extended translation on the controller
+     Possible Values: This option is a flag
+       Default Value: disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: periodic_otag
+          Definition: Send an ordered tag periodically to prevent
+                      tag starvation.  Needed for some older devices
+     Possible Values: This option is a flag
+       Default Value: disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: reverse_scan
+          Definition: Probe the scsi bus in reverse order, starting
+                      with target 15
+     Possible Values: This option is a flag
+       Default Value: disabled
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: global_tag_depth:[value]
+          Definition: Global tag depth for all targets on all busses.
+                      This option sets the default tag depth which
+                      may be selectively overridden vi the tag_info
+                      option.
+     Possible Values: 1 - 253
+       Default Value: 32
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: tag_info:{{value[,value...]}[,{value[,value...]}...]}
+          Definition: Set the per-target tagged queue depth on a
+                      per controller basis.  Both controllers and targets
+                      may be ommitted indicating that they should retain
+                      the default tag depth.
+            Examples: tag_info:{{16,32,32,64,8,8,,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32}
+                        On Controller 0
+                          specifies a tag depth of 16 for target 0
+                          specifies a tag depth of 64 for target 3
+                          specifies a tag depth of 8 for targets 4 and 5
+                          leaves target 6 at the default
+                          specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 1,2,7-15
+                        All other targets retain the default depth.
+
+                      tag_info:{{},{32,,32}}
+                        On Controller 1
+                          specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 0 and 2
+                        All other targets retain the default depth.
+                        
+     Possible Values: 1 - 253
+       Default Value: 32
+   -----------------------------------------------------------------
+              Option: seltime:[value]
+          Definition: Specifies the selection timeout value
