1.1       root        1: SSCCSSII -- Device Driver
                      2: 
                      3: 
                      4: The  COHERENT SCSI  series of  device drivers  lets you  use SCSI-interface
                      5: devices attached to host adapters from several vendors.
                      6: 
                      7: All COHERENT  SCSI device  drivers use major  number 13, thus  allowing all
                      8: SCSI  devices  to  be  accessed  via  standard  device-naming  conventions.
                      9: Peripherals can be  accessed as either block- or character-special devices.
                     10: The minor  number specifies the  device and partition  number for disk-type
                     11: devices; this  allows the use of up to  eight SCSI identifiers (SCSI-ID's),
                     12: with up  to four  logical unit  numbers (LUNs) per  SCSI-ID and up  to four
                     13: partitions per LUN.  Tape and other special devices decode the minor number
                     14: to perform special operations such as ``rewind on close'' or ``no rewind on
                     15: close''.
                     16: 
                     17: The  first  ooppeenn call  on  a  SCSI disk  device  allocates  memory for  the
                     18: partition table and reads it into memory.
                     19: 
                     20: See  the release  notes for  further  information regarding  supported host
                     21: adapters and peripherals.

                     32: for various SCSI host adapters, as  well as device driver updates.  See the
