I. DOS/WINDOWS DRIVERS
I. DOS/WINDOWS
(Command Lines)
This entry may or may not already exist in your SYSTEM.INI file, depending
on the hardware present when you installed Windows. This entry controls the
loading of the standard FastDisk driver that ships with Windows for the purpose
of providing 32-bit Disk Access to an IDE drive. This driver is not compatible
with vendor-supplied FastDisk drivers, such as WIN8XX.386.
6. Use the COPY command to copy the WIN8XX.DLL driver from the SDMS
SCSI Drivers disk to your boot disk. For example, to copy the driver to your
system’s Windows SYSTEM directory, use the command shown below:
copy a:\WIN8XX.DLL c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINASPI.DLL
NOTE: In the above statement the file name is changed. This is important.
7. Add profile switches to your SYSTEM.INI file, as necessary. See below for a
detailed description.
Command Line Options
Profile settings are the Windows equivalent of DOS command line options. They
are entered into a particular section of your SYSTEM.INI file which resides in your
Windows directory. Edit SYSTEM.INI and add a section anywhere (except in the
middle of another section like [386Enh]) called [Win8xx]. For example, the section
might look like this:
[Win8xx]
Synchronous=on
Wide=off
Disconnect=on
SCAM=off
ParityChecking=on
Timeout=0<>
Verbose=OFF
In the following descriptions, ‘ha_num’ refers to the adapter number (boot order
designation). Please note that this version of the driver only supports one adapter,
so the host adapter number is always zero.
In the following descriptions ‘id’ refers to the SCSI device ID.
These conventions are also used:
[ ] items in brackets are optional
*
means repeat 0 or more times
IMPORTANT: No spaces are allowed in specifying any of these options. Spaces
are required between different options.
