If you are performing a first time Windows 95 installation, see Installing
Windows 95 and the Driver on page 4-2. If Windows 95 is already installed in
your system, see Updating Windows 95 with the Driver on page 4-2.
Installing Windows 95 and the Driver
====================================
A version of the aic78xx.mpd driver is embedded (included) in the Windows 95
installation CD. During a normal Windows 95 installation, the 7800 Family
host adapter is detected in your system and the embedded aic78xx.mpd driver
is automatically installed. Once the Windows 95 installation is complete,
you can update the aic78xx.mpd driver with the most recent version of the
driver by -following the instructions in Updating Windows 95 with the Driver,
below.
Note: If Windows 95 installation cannot detect the 7800 Family host
adapter installed in your computer, you must install the aic78xx.mpd
driver manually once Windows 95 installation is complete. To determine if
the aic78xx.mpd driver was installed, and to install the driver manually,
see Updating Windows 95 with the Driver, below.
Updating Windows 95 with the Driver
====================================
This section describes how to update/install the aic78xx.mpd driver if
Windows 95 is already installed. If you are installing Windows 95 for the
first time, see Installing Windows 95 and the Driver, above.
Note: All Adaptec 7800 Family host adapters use the same aic78xx.mpd driver.
Once the driver is updated, it is not necessary to update it again for each
7800 Family host adapter installed in your system.

2 Click the Start button on the Windows 95 task bar, and then point to
Settings.
3 Click Control Panel.
4 Double-click the system icon.
5 On the Device Manager tab, click the plus sign next to the SCSI
controller icon.
Note: If Windows 95 cannot determine the type of host adapter installed in
your computer, a yellow question mark labelled Other devices appears
instead of the SCSI controller icon. To continue, click the plus sign next
to the question mark; a yellow question mark labelled PCI SCSI Bus
Controller then appears.
6 Double-click the 7800 Family host adapter you wish to update, or if a
yellow question mark labelled PCI SCSI Bus Controller is displayed,
double-click the question mark.
7 On the Driver tab, click Change Driver. You may be asked to select
the hardware type; if asked to do so, select SCSI -Controller.
8 Click the Have Disk button and enter a:\win95 as the location to
copy the manufacturer's file from.
9 Click OK.
10 Select the 7800 Family host adapter, and click OK.
11 Click OK. The driver is copied and scanned.
