SCSI clustering is supported over three SCSI controllers:

	KZPAA -- PCI, narrow, slow, single-ended
	KZPSA -- PCI, fast, wide, differential
	KZTSA -- Turbochannel, fast, wide differential

The best controller for your needs depends on your local system
configurations.  The KZPSA is recommended for environments requiring
the highest performance.
