5. Turn the computer ON. If the new host adapter supports
Plug and Play, Windows will install and configure it
automatically. Otherwise, run Add New Hardware to make
sure the new driver is loaded.
If I am running under Windows 95, do I need lines for the
Adaptec real mode ASPI drivers and mscdex in my
config.sys and autoexec.bat files?
Usually, you do not need to use these real mode ASPI drivers,
because the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI
host adapters and SCSI devices. However, you need to load the
drivers (including mscdex, if you have a CD-ROM drive) if any
of the following is true:
- You are running in MSDOS mode.
- You are using a scanner or another SCSI device with
config.sys - or autoexec.bat- based drivers, such as HP’s
sjiix.sys.
- You have an older model SCSI-1 CD-ROM drive that
Windows 95 does not support.
- You are using a CD-Recorder drive (however, some newer
models of CD-Recorder drives can use the embedded
Windows miniport drivers).
To install the Adaptec EZSCSI DOS drivers, click the Start
button and select Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode. When
the DOS prompt appears, follow the Quick Start instructions for
DOS.
My CD-ROM drive doesn ’ t work properly under Windows 95.
Some older models of SCSI CD-ROM drives are not compatible
with the embedded Windows 95 CD-ROM driver. You can add
support for the CD-ROM drive by doing the following:
1. Click the Start button and select Restart the computer in
MS-DOS mode.
2. When the DOS prompt appears, follow the Quick Start
instructions for DOS.
