Symbios Logic 53C8XX Software Development Kit
Version 1.00.00

This development kit contains the tools and sample code necessary
to begin developing Scripts based drivers for the 53C8XX family
of SCSI IO processors.  There are three .ZIP files that contain
this information, their contents are described below.  This kit
is intended for individuals developing their own drivers/software
for the 53C8XX family of products.  It is NOT intended to provide
information on interfacing to Symbios Logic's SDMS software 
solution (i.e. BIOS/ASPI interface).

Items included in this kit:
NASM.ZIP - Contains the SCRIPTS assembler NASM.EXE
           For detailed information on the use of the 
           SCRIPTS assembler please see the 53C8XX 
           Programmer's Guide.
NVPCI.ZIP - Contains the SCRIPTS DOS debugger NVPCI.EXE
            as well as the sample SCRIPT file DEMOPCI.SS
            which demostrates various SCSI sequences 
            implemented in SCRIPTS.  NV.HLP, NV.NDX and 
            NVPCI.RST are used by NVPCI.EXE and DEMOPCI.LIS
            and DEMOPCI.OUT are output files generated by
            the SCRIPTS assembler NASM.EXE from the DEMOPCI.SS
            file.  For detailed information on the use of the debugger
            please see the NVDOS SCSI SCRIPTS Debugger User's
            guide.
TESTCODE.zip - Symbios Logic Validation test code.  This is
               a full set of functions that perform various
               tasks with the 53C8XX family.  From generating
               random scatter gather lists to executing full
               single threaded reads and writes with disconnect
               and Tagged Command Queing.  This toolset provides
               a complete example on how to implement hardware
               sequences on the 53C8XX family.  A MAKEFILE for
               Borland v4.5 is provided as well as all obj's 
               and a basic pre-compiled sample test called 
               TEST.EXE.  Please refer to the file TAZ_DEF2.DOC
               (or .TXT) for a full description of all tools
               available in this code.
