1.3 SDMS Device Drivers
The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request into
a SCSI request. Each SDMS SCSI device driver is operating system
specific and is designed to work on standard LSI Logic chip
implementations.
Currently, LSI Logic provides PCI to SCSI device drivers for the following
operating systems:
•
MS-DOS 6.0/Windows 3.1X
•
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me (Millennium Edition)
•
Windows NT - 4.0
•
Windows 2000
•
OS/2 - 4.XX
•
SCO OpenServer - Release 5.XX
•
UnixWare - 7
•
Solaris - 7 and 8
•
Linux
•
NetWare - 4.XX and 5.XX (NWPA)
This user’s guide provides device driver installation and configuration
instructions for each of these operating systems.
1.4 Basic Guidelines
Some basic rules for using SDMS software and installing a SCSI host
adapter device follow. The SDMS software requires an IBM PC/AT or
compatible computer with an 80486 or higher microprocessor. An
understanding of basic operating system commands is assumed. In
addition, users of this manual should have a general knowledge of the
SCSI standard.
Before using the SDMS software, you should configure the SCSI
controller into your system, taking into account the configuration of other
host adapters and system resources.
