(Installation)
Installing Your SYMDISK.SYS Driver
1. Use the COPY command to copy the appropriate drivers from the SDMS SCSI
Drivers disk to your boot disk.
2. Add the lines shown below to your system’s CONFIG.SYS file.
The ASPI8XX.SYS driver is also required. List the drivers in this sequence:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS
Command Line Options
The SYMDISK.SYS device driver has several embedded functions which are ac-
cessed via switches on the command line. These options are described below, and
use the following conventions:
[ ] items in brackets are optional
*
items in brackets followed by an * means repeat 0 or more times
| choose one of the given items
IMPORTANT: No spaces are allowed in specifying these command line
options. Spaces are required between different command line options.
Using the /ASK Option
This option prompts the user at system boot-up whether to load SYMDISK.SYS or
not. To use this option, the line in CONFIG.SYS that loads SYMDISK.SYS should
look like this: DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /ASK
Using the /UNITS= Option
NOTE: It is strongly suggested that you use this option when using remov-
able media with more than one partition.
SYMDISK.SYS allows the use of removable media, such as cartridge hard drives,
each of which might have a different number of partitions. If media with more than
one partition are used, set this option to the maximum number of partitions on any
one media. To use this option, the line in CONFIG.SYS that loads SYMDISK.SYS
should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS
/UNITS=path:id:lun:num_units
[,path:id:lun:num_units]*
