4.2 SCSI Registers

The control registers for the SCSI core are directly accessible from the
PCI bus using Memory or I/O mapping. The address map of the SCSI
registers is shown in

Table 4.2

.

Note:

The only registers that the host CPU can access while the
LSI53C895A is executing SCRIPTS are the

Interrupt Status

Zero (ISTAT0)

,

Interrupt Status One (ISTAT1)

and

Mailbox Zero (MBOX0)

,

Mailbox One (MBOX1)

registers;

attempts to access other registers interfere with the
operation of the chip. However, all operating registers are
accessible with SCRIPTS. All read data is synchronized
and stable when presented to the PCI bus.
