👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ok so real talk: the oosiop driver is the one that provides support for the Symbios/NCR 53C700 SCSI controller chip 💅 that's literally its whole job and it ate.

and like, before you come for me — bestie, pls check the vibes:

  • if you've got a Symbios/NCR 53C710 SCSI host adapter? that's not this girl. use the osiop(4) driver instead 💖
  • if you've got a Symbios/NCR 53C8xx PCI SCSI host adapter? also not this one!! use the siop(4) or esiop(4) driver 🫶

the way that picking the right driver is literally the whole personality of this page 😭
