A Windows application passes SCSI commands directly to the SCSI
devices by using the SCSI pass-through facility. Refer to Microsoft
Windows 95/98/Me documentation for more details. This facility allows
applications to directly control and access SCSI devices by filling in a
data structure and calling into the port driver.
The SYMC8XX.MPD and SYM_HI.MPD drivers support Ultra SCSI protocol,
providing twice the raw data transfer rate of Fast SCSI for disk drives and
LSI Logic host adapters that support Ultra SCSI. These drivers also
support Ultra2 SCSI protocol, providing quadruple the raw data transfer
rate of Fast SCSI.
The SYM_U3.MPD driver supports Ultra160 SCSI protocol providing up to
160 Mbytes/s data transfer for double transition. Ultra160 also includes
CRC, PPR, and Domain Validation. The standard Ultra160 SCSI protocol
performs 80 megatransfers per second resulting in approximately double
the synchronous data transfer rates of Ultra2 SCSI.
Caution: Ultra SCSI requires more stringent SCSI bus cabling
setups than Fast SCSI. Ultra2 SCSI and Ultra160 SCSI
require Low Voltage Differential (LVD) termination.
3.2 Using the SYMC8XX/SYM_HI/SYM_U3 Drivers
The SDMS Software Device Driver and Utilities CD-ROM contains the
SYMC8XX.MPD , SYM_HI.MPD , and SYM_U3.MPD drivers and their associated
files in this directory:
{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\WIN9X
You must prepare an SDMS Driver Diskette before proceeding with the
installation instructions.
3.2.1 Preparing an SDMS Driver Diskette
Copy the files listed in this section to the root directory of a clean
diskette. Various subdirectories contain the appropriate driver files. You
will use this SDMS driver diskette during installation.
For the SYMC8XX.MPD driver, locate the files at:
{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\WIN9X\8XX9X .
