1.1General Description

The LSI20860 provides a low-cost SCSI solution for attaching SCSI devices (disk drives, scanners, CD-ROM drivers, tape drives, removable media drives, etc.) to PCI computer systems with an ISA/EISA bracket type. The LSI20860 uses the LSI53C860 PCI to Ultra SCSI I/O Processor chip, an 80 MHz oscillator, and transfers SCSI data up to 20 Mbytes/s.
