1.0 Overview
Adaptec is committed to protecting and maximizing its customer's investment
by providing easy access to most recent device driver software. ASW-UPGRADE
is Adaptec's automatic software updating utility. This program will search
for a valid Adaptec device driver; if the driver is not the latest version,
it will be upgraded to the latest version.
2.0 Files Included on this Diskette
The files included on the ASW-UPGRADE diskette are:
UPGRAD10.EXE - version 1.0 of Adaptec's upgrade program
DOS.ENC - encoded file of Adaptec DOS drivers
NETWARE.ENC - encoded file of Adaptec NetWare drivers
OS2.ENC - encoded file of Adaptec OS/2 drivers
CD-ROM.ENC - encoded file of Adaptec CD-ROM drivers
README.10 - ASCII file of UserÆs Manual and LetUsKnow card
LETMEKNO.DOC - Questionnaire
3.0 Requirements before running UPGRAD10
UPGRAD10 requires:
1. A hard disk with at least 4 megabytes of free capacity be available
at drive C:
2. An earlier Adaptec software driver (that needs to be upgraded).
UPGRAD10 will verify that a valid older driver exists. Once confirmed, it
will decrypt the appropriate operating system file and upgrade device driver.
The original driver will be renamed with the extension .OLD.
UPGRAD10 will look in the directory in which it is being executed and the
root directory (C:\) for a valid older driver. If not found, UPGRAD10 will
ask for the correct path to the driver to be upgraded.
4.0 Running UPGRAD10
To run UPGRAD10, type UPGRAD10 at the DOS prompt, where xx is the release
level of the Upgrade Kit. You must read and agree to the licensing
information that will be displayed before UPGRAD10 will continue. If you
agree, then the screen will look similar to:
Select one of the following options to upgrade to a new release:
1. ASPI4DOS.SYS DOS Manager (ASW-1410)
2. ASPI2DOS.SYS DOS Manager (ASW-1210)
3. AHA1540.DSK NOVELL Manager (ASW-1440)
4. AHA1640.DSK NOVELL Manager (ASW-1440)
5. AHA1740.DSK NOVELL Manager (ASW-1440)
6. AHA1520.DSK NOVELL Manager (ASW-1240)
7. ASW1440.DSK NOVELL Manager (ASW-1440)
8. ASW-410 CD-ROM Software
9. ASW-1420/1220 OS/2 Software
10. QUIT
Please enter number:
Enter a number that corresponds to the driver that you wish to upgrade.
If UPGRAD10 detects that you already have the latest version of the driver,
it will display a message similar to:
The file is already the latest version of the driver.
If the original file cannot be found because it is not in the root directory
(C:\) or in the current directory, then the following message will appear:
File not found, Enter path to locate file or <ENTER> to quit:
Enter the drive letter and path of the original driver to be upgraded.
Once found, UPGRAD10 will decrypt the UPGRAD10.ENC file. This may take
several minutes. UPGRAD10 will then display the version of both the original
driver, the version of the new driver, and request confirmation.
Found old Version 2.1 , UPGRADE to Version 3.0a? (Y/N):
Enter 'Y' or 'YES' to have UPGRAD10 update the driver files and rename the
original files with the extension .OLD.
