- **** Beta ASPI manager for OS/2 2.0 for Adaptec SCSI Host Adapters ****
- May 22, 1992
-
- This beta ASPI manager software provides an ASPI layer so that ASPI
- software for device modules can be written and used. This software works
- will all Adaptec SCSI host adapters (AHA-1510/1520/1540/1640/1740/AIC-
- 6260 series host adapters).
-
- Check this OS2 lib for future updates to this program.

- Instructions for installation:
-
- 1) Copy OS2ASPI.DMD to \OS2 on your boot drive
-
- 2) Add the line BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD to CONFIG.SYS
-
- 3) Install all ASPI software and make sure there are no references to
- ASPI4OS2.ISA or ASPI4OS2.SYS in CONFIG.SYS. ASPI4OS2.xxx is for OS/2 1.X
- only and will hang the system if it is loaded under OS/2 2.0.
-
- 4) If you are using targets that might be allocated to another device
- manager (i.e. magneto-optical drives to OS2DASD or CD-ROM to OS2SCSI)
- you must make the ADD refuse to allocate the appropriate targets to
- other device managers. Here is an example :
-
- BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD /A:0 /!DM:3,4 /!SM:5
-
- The same command line switches are to be used with the other .ADDs.
-
- This tells the ADD the on adapter 0 targets 3 and 4 cannot be given to
- the DASD manager and target 5 cannot be given to the SCSI manager. There
- are no limits to the number of targets this can be done to and be
- careful not to prevent the DASD manager from using the boot target or
- the system will hang.
