+Amiga NCR53c710 SCSI support
+CONFIG_SCSI_AMIGA7XX
+ Support for various NCR53c710-based SCSI controllers on the Amiga.
+ This includes:
+ - the builtin SCSI controller on the Amiga 4000T,
+ - the Amiga 4091 Zorro III SCSI-2 controller,
+ - the MacroSystem Development's WarpEngine Amiga SCSI-2 controller
+ (info at
+ <http://www.lysator.liu.se/amiga/ar/guide/ar310.guide?FEATURE5>),
+ - the SCSI controller on the Phase5 Blizzard PowerUP 603e+
+ accelerator card for the Amiga 1200,
+ - the SCSI controller on the GVP Turbo 040/060 accelerator.
+ Note that all of the above SCSI controllers, except for the builtin
+ SCSI controller on the Amiga 4000T, reside on the Zorro expansion
+ bus, so you also have to enable Zorro bus support if you want to use
+ them.
