- ASPIDRIVER Media Vision V1.00 command line switches
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- DEVICE=ASPIMED.SYS [/l] [/m] [/p<port>,<IRQ>] [/d<HAN>,<ID>,<BYTE>]
- [/x<port>] [/r[w]]
-
- /L enable nonzero LUN SCSI scanning at boot (for ASPI=1 GetDeviceType)
- /M disable full message display during boot
-
- /X<port>exclude slot from install (AT BUS)
- /P<port>,<irq>install port number (AT BUS) - can be given multiple times
- if no /p option exists the driver is autoscanning the SCSI bus and
- installing all supported cards on AT BUS
-
- /R do SCSI hard reset to all found host adapters.This option is useful
- after a host adapter previous "hang" (the host adapter LED remains
- on after reset,the card is not recognised at boot by the driver,etc)
- /RW do SCSI hard reset and wait 5 seconds before any SCSI request is made
- to the host adapter (for slow old SCSI devices that could "hang" the
- host adapter after SCSI bus reset is sent)
-
- /D<HAN>,<ID>,<BYTE> set unique parameter byte configuration option for
- the specified host adapter and SCSI ID.You can set the following bits
- bit2-prevent target disconnect
- bit3-no autosense
- bit1=1 AND bit6=1-use blind mode xfer on read for this id
- (the option command line is /d0,id,41 ,where 0=host adapter
- number ,id=cd rom id ,41 is the option byte)
- For details about the configuration byte see ASP=5 Set Host Adapter
- parameters

- ASPIDRIVER MediaVision V1.00 initialization and mesages
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- Note : most of the initialization messages can be disabled to be
- displayed with the /M option.
-
- After the initial message
-
- "CorelASPI for DOS/MediaVision - device driver V1.00"
- "Copyright (c) 1992-1993 Corel Corp."
-
- the driver starts processing of the config.sys line. If any i/o ports
- are specified the driver tries installing only the cards that
- correspond to the specified slots;else the driver scans the AT
- bus for valid SCSI supported cards and installs them all. If none is
- found the driver exits without installing with the message
-
- "No supported SCSI cards located"
- "Driver is not installed"
-
- At the end of the initialization the exit message displays the
- number of SCSI cards installed.
-
- "Installation complete : x SCSI card(s) located"
-
- x-number of installed cards
-
- Any config.sys command error is ignored with the message
-
- "Unknown command line errors ignored"
-
- The per card host adapter specific initialization starts with the
- message
-
- "Initialising host adapter : x"
- "Configuration I/O : yyyy, IDD : d, IRQ : bb, DMA : a"
-
- x-host adapter number (0 based)
- yyyy-base I/O port for the card
- d-the board scsi ID byte
- bb-interrupt level for the card
- a-dma channel (0xFF if none)
-
- Then the driver is displaying the IBM host type and bus width
-
- " Host : Pro Audio Va.bb"
-
- a.bb the firmware revision number
-
- The driver is scanning the SCSI bus for present devices and displayes
- the results. If the /L option is specified the scanning is made for
- every SCSI LUN on a given SCSI ID, else the inquiry is made only for
- LUN = 0 on a given ID.
-
- If the per card initialization is succesfull the last message is
-
- "Initialising complete host adapter : x"
-
- else
-
- "Initialising error host adapter : x error : yyyy"
-
- x-host adapter number (0 based)
- yyys-the error code
- In this last case the driver displays also a corresponding error
- string.Also in should be noted that in this last case the driver is
- not installing FOR the specified card.
-
- The autoscan on AT bus is in the order of the following ports:
- 388h,384h,38Ch,288h,284h,28Ch,380h,280h.If the /p option is given
- it is mandatory to specify BOTH the port and irq value.On the auto-
- scanning alternative the driver is assigning a default IRQ level
- in the following order:0ah,0bh,0ch,0eh,0fh,0ah,0bh,0ch
-
