Copyright © 1993–2001 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.

In addition to loading the

ASPI8XX.SYS

driver, you may optionally load

the

SYMCD.SYS

and/or

SYMDISK.SYS

drivers for DOS CD-ROM and DOS

removable media support. Netware does not require

SYMCD.SYS

and

SYMDISK.SYS

for CD-ROM or MO support.

12.5.4 Using the SDMS 4.XX BIOS

If the system contains an older SDMS 4.XX BIOS, you must load

ASPI8XX.SYS

(version 4.10 or greater) in the

CONFIG.SYS

file. You must

also disable SCAM in the SDMS 4.XX BIOS. If SCAM is enabled, then
the SDMS NWPA HAM drivers will fail to load.

12.5.5 Using the ASPI8XX.SYS Driver

SCAM support by default is off in ASPI Manager version 4.10 and later.

12.5.6 Supporting DOS Drivers

The SDMS

ASPI8XX.SYS

(4.10 or greater) DOS driver supports the older

SDMS 4.XX BIOS.

SYMCD.SYS

and

SYMDISK.SYS

support CD-ROM and

MO devices under DOS. NetWare does not require

SYMCD.SYS

nor

SYMDISK.SYS

support for CD-ROM and MO devices; however,

ASPI8XX.SYS

and

SYMCD.SYS

are required for SCSI CD-ROM installation.

Table 12.2

describes the DOS drivers currently supported by the SDMS

NWPA drivers,

LSI8XXNW.HAM

,

LSIHINW.HAM

, and

LSI_U3NW.HAM

.
