loaded at the time it is run. Although some limited information can be
found without one, an error is reported if it does not find an ASPI
manager. Note that any vendor’s ASPI manager suffices.
6.6.3.3 Running the DOS Verify Utility
To run this utility, three files are required:
•
SYMDIAG.EXE
•
Z_VER.DAT
•
ASPI8XX.SYS (if not installed already in the CONFIG.SYS file)
If ASPI8XX.SYS already exists on the system and the driver line points to
it in the CONFIG.SYS file, you do not need it in the same directory as
SYMDIAG.EXE . It is included here in case an install of the drivers has not
yet taken place. If this is the case, add the following line to the
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=[path]ASPI8XX.SYS
Then, reboot the system for it to take effect. The path specified in the
above line is your choice (
C:\LSILogic is recommended) and
ASPI8XX.SYS must be copied to that location.
The recommended minimum memory requirement for this utility is
2 Mbytes. You need at least 500 Kbytes of conventional DOS memory,
and the remainder in extended memory.
6.6.3.4 Troubleshooting
A potential problem with its suggested solution is:
The utility screens are unreadable.
Check that your graphics card and your monitor match. For example, an
SVGA card combined with a VGA monitor may not display the screens
accurately.
