11.1.3 Description
The SYM53C8XX driver takes full advantage of the features of the latest
LSI53C8XX or LSI53C1XXX family of chips, although support for some
of the earliest chips is no longer available. The differences between the
two drivers are:
•
The SYM53C8XX driver supports only those NCR/SYM/LSI/53C8XX
chips that perform Load/Store instructions. Additionally, it supports
the Ultra160 LSI53C1000 and LSI53C1010 chips, uses 8 Kbyte
on-chip RAM, and handles phase mismatches in SCRIPTS for the
LSI53C895, LSI53C895A, LSI53C896, LSI53C897, LSI53C1000,
and LSI53C1010 chips.
•
The NCR53C8XX driver supports the entire NCR/SYM/LSI/53C8XX
family of chips excluding the latest Ultra160 LSI53C1000 and
LSI53C1010 chips released by LSI Logic. Note that this driver
supports the earliest chips from National Cash Register (NCR), such
as the NCR53C810 revision 1.
