Option Name

Description

/NORST

Prevents a SCSI bus reset during loading of

ASPI8XX.SYS

.

Activate this option by modifying the line in the

CONFIG.SYS

file that loads

ASPI8XX.SYS

to look like this:

DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASP8XX.SYS /NORST

/ASK

Prompts at system bootup about loading the

ASPI8XX.SYS

driver.

Activate this option by modifying the line in the

CONFIG.SYS

file that loads

/WIDTH

Defines the maximum data width negotiated with a device. This option can be used

with host adapters capable of 16-bit data transfers. Valid settings are 8 or 16.

to force 8-bit transfers to a device at SCSI ID 2, the line in the

CONFIG.SYS

file that

loads

ASPI8XX.SYS

should look like this:

DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS /WIDTH=8<0:2>
