1. CD-ROM Drive Support
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Adaptec's CD-ROM driver, ASPICD.SYS, has been written to fully support
any SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive.
The following drives have been tested by Adaptec with Adaptec
EZ-SCSI 3.1. All drives support both audio and data. Photo CD is
supported where indicated:

* These drives do not directly support Photo CD. However, by adding
/XAEMUL to the ASPICD.SYS command line, in your CONFIG.SYS, we will
emulate support for single-session Photo CD on these drives.
** These drives do not support parity. Please consult the troubleshooting
section of the users manual for information on using these drives.
*** These jukebox CD-ROM drives are fully supported. A drive letter will
be assigned for each CD.

2. Troubleshooting/Limitations
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
o SMARTDRV 5.0 (in MS-DOS 6.2, Windows for Workgroups 3.11) now includes
caching for CD-ROM drives. There is a problem with SMARTDRV in its
support for XA formatted Compact Discs. If you experience "Not Ready"
errors, using SMARTDRV 5.0, add /E:2048 to your SMARTDRV command line.
For example:
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV /X /E:2048
o EZ-SCSI for Windows (SETUP.EXE) will not load its 3-D look DLL (CTL3D.DLL)
if you are using Central Point PC Tools for Windows Desktop. The
installation will still proceed without any loss of functionality.
o You should install Adaptec EZ-SCSI to a drive letter that exists at boot
time. This would NOT include RAM drives, network drives, removable
drives, etc.
o We have seen at least one case where an unstable video driver would
cause EZ-SCSI for Windows to hang during installation. If you are
experiencing similar problems, try using the standard VGA driver that
comes with Windows. If EZ-SCSI for Windows then installs properly,
you may want to contact your video card company for updated drivers.
o In the unlikely event that you encounter a timeout failure when EZ-SCSI
for Windows scans the SCSI bus, you should run EZ-SCSI for DOS first.
Let it modify your CONFIG.SYS to load the appropriate ASPI managers;
reboot your system. You should then be able to run EZ-SCSI for Windows.
o If you have an IBM ThinkPad 360Cs or an IBM ThinkPad 755, and are using
the Adaptec APA-1460 SlimSCSI, you need to move the following line to
the last line inside your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\EZPLY\$ICPMDOS.SYS
Note: If the directory for EZ-Play is different than the default, use
that directory instead. The above line uses the standard directory as
an example.
