Appendix A - WinCue Installation Help
There are issues to look out for when installing WinCue:
WinCueNews only works on Windows 95, 98 or Windows NT 4.0. It is not recommended to have a SCSI hard disk
or any other SCSI device on the same SCSI bus as the IMT Card. If you have to then see the SCSI
documentation below. We recommend using an Adaptec 2906 SCSI adapter in a desktop PC. Ensure that the
Adaptec SCSI cards ROM BIOS is not a Version 1.3x, if so apply downgrade which can be obtained from Autocue.
Use an Adaptec 1460 SlimSCSI adapter in a laptop PC.
For both desktops and laptops do not use a motherboard that uses an Intel TX chipset. Only use genuine Intel
processors. We recommend you don’t use an Intel Celeron processor.
Ensure that the installed SCSI drivers match those in the following SCSI documentation.
WinCue IMT cards and SCSI cards
Laptop systems (SlimSCSI 1460d)
If WinCue stops on 42% the problem is to do with the version of the Windows SCSI driver ( sparrow.mpd ) which is
located in: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\
the version needed to correct the problem is:
SPARROW.MPD = 17K, 24/08/1996
which can be obtained from Autocue.
Desktop systems (2906)
If you get the message "fatal there are no security providers available sentinel not found" when trying to run
WinCue, check the aic78xx SCSI device driver is enabled in Control Panel-Devices. It should be set to startup
automatically by clicking Startup and selecting Startup Type: Automatic.
Windows 95
If WinCue stops on 10% the problem is to do with the version of the Windows SCSI driver for the Adaptec
'aic78xx.mpd' which is located in: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\.
the version needed to correct the problem is:
AIC78xx.MPD = 31K, 24/08/1996
