6.3.2 Description
The ASPI8XX.SYS device driver is an ASPI manager that provides an
interface to popular ASPI applications. This driver is required when you
want to use
SYMDISK.SYS or SYMCD.SYS or whenever you want to run an
ASPI application.
This interface replaces an SDMS BIOS (if present), and fully supports all
devices supported by the BIOS. If an SDMS BIOS is not present, only
an ASPI interface is provided.
6.3.3 Installing the ASPI8XX.SYS Driver
To install the ASPI8XX.SYS driver, follow these steps:
Step 1. Copy the ASPI8XX.SYS driver to the boot disk.
The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM
contains the
ASPI8XX.SYS driver in this directory:
{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\DOS
Step 2. Add this line to the system’s CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:[path]ASPI8XX.SYS.
This line must appear before any line loading other SDMS drivers (such
as,
SYMCD.SYS and/or SYMDISK.SYS ), or any other ASPI compliant
driver/application.
6.3.4 Using Command Line Options
The ASPI8XX.SYS device driver has several configurable features that are
set by using switches on the command line in the CONFIG.SYS file. Using
these command line options overrides the settings in the SCSI BIOS
Configuration Utility.
Table 6.1 lists the command line options. No spaces are allowed within
a single command line option, but spaces are required between different
command line options.
