- Installation instructions for the AIC-7770 OS/2 2.0 Driver
-
- 1) Open the OS/2 System folder, then open the System Setup folder.
-
- 2) Select Device Driver Install.
-
- 3) Insert the driver diskette in the appropriate drive.
-
- 4) CHANGE to the directory where the drivers are located.
- The OS/2 2.0 driver files are usually in the OS2_20 directory.
-
- 5) When you have found the drivers, select INSTALL.
-
- 6) The system will be scanned for host adapters. If a host adapter is
- found, you will see this message in a pop-up window:
-
- Installing Device Drivers
-
- Another message will appear when the driver has successfully been
- installed. If no host adapters are found, an error message will
- be displayed.
-
-
- ***** NOTE *****
-
- If you are installing the driver on the GA release of OS/2 2.0, you
- cannot install the driver by selecting the icon in the System Setup
- folder. Instead, open a full-screen OS/2 session and go to the
- directory where the drivers reside. Then type DDINSTAL and press ENTER.
-
- If you have trouble installing OS/2 with the AIC7770.ADD you should try
- disabling tagged queuing on your installation drive. The number of tagged
- commands can range from 1 to 16 and the default is 16. This number can be
- changed with the /TAG: parameter. For example, if you wish to disable tagged
- queuing on the first adapter installed in the system you should set the
- number of tagged commands to 1 :
-
- BASEDEV=AIC7770.ADD /A:0 /TAG:1
-
- is the correct syntax to do this.
