Software Installation Chapter 5
Installing the SCSI Driver Software
Coolscan is interfaced to the computer through the SCSI bus. It is necessary to
load the SCSI driver software into the computer’s memory in order to access the scan­
ner. This is typically accomplished by adding a DEVICE statement in the computer’s
CONFIG.SYS file.
The Nikon Installer can automatically update the current CONFIG.SYS file for
you via the SCSI DEVICE DRIVER OPTIONS dialog, seen in Figure 5.10. This is the rec­
ommended procedure for novice users.
The dialog contains three options. The first is COPY F ile AND UPDATE
CONFIG.SYS. If you select this option and click CONTINUE, the Coolscan SCSI device
driver will be added to your current CONFIG.SYS file, which will then be renamed
CONFIG.B a K. The following line will automatically be entered into the CONFIG.SYS
file:
D evice = d :\ path \M
A13B.SYS
Alternatively, you can modify the CONFIG.SYS file yourself. In this case, select
the C opy F ile B ut D on ’ t U pdate C onfig .S ys radio button, then dick C ontinue .
If you select this option, you must manually enter the following line into your
CONFIG.SYS file;
D evice = d :\P ath \MA1 3B.SYS
The last option in this dialog, DON’T C opy F ile OR UPDATE CONFIG.SYS
should only be selected when you do not want to complete this operation.
If you are attempting to use Coolscan with a third-party SCSI controller card you
should consider the advantages of running your scanner and hard disk from isolated
buses. There are a wide variety of SCSI controller cards on the market, but not every
card can supply the SCSI functionality required to run your scanner. The required
ASPI driver software is often an additional cost. To assure reliable operation, we have
included a Trantor T-130 SCSI controller card and ASPI software with your scanner.
For microchannel use, the Trantor T-228 has been certified for use with Coolscan by
Nikon (this card is «oiincluded with Coolscan). Only select COPY FILE AND UPDATE
CONFIG.SYS if you are using the Trantor T-130 SCSI controller card.
