Software Support

DOS/Windows

When you are using AHA-1520A/1522A host adapters under DOS,
you can connect up to two SCSI hard disk drives per host adapter
without additional software. AHA-1510A host adapters always
need additional device drivers because they have no onboard BIOS.

You need additional software if you want to do any of the following
with your AHA-1520A/1522A host adapter:

■

Support more than two SCSI hard disk drives

■

Remove or switch removable media (for example, Bernoulli
cartridges) while your computer is running

■

Support CD-ROM drives

■

Support devices other than CD-ROM drives and disk drives–
for example, SCSI tape drives, scanners, plotters, or WORM
drives

■

Disable the BIOS on the AHA-1520A/1522A host adapter

Adaptec EZ-SCSI

If you are running under DOS or Windows, Adaptec EZ-SCSI soft-
ware makes driver installation easier than ever before. Adaptec
EZ-SCSI is a menu-driven software package that configures your
operating environment automatically.

as an audio CD player for DOS and Windows, a tape backup pro-
gram, and a data transfer benchmarking utility. It includes DOS and
Windows formatting utilities for SCSI disk devices. Adaptec
EZ-SCSI also includes ASPI device drivers that support most models
of CD-ROM drives and SCSI disk devices.
