enable verbose mode. If you install driver correctlly, you will
see the following string when starting OS/2.
"VIA Chip XXX [---] Series"
For SCO UNIX:
When you boot from a SCO UNIX hard disk, you can verify the driver
by the booting message which is similar to the following one.
"%disk 0x01F0 - 0x01F7 14 - type=VTH0 unit=0 cyls=1652 hds=16 secs=63"
The "type=VTH0" means you are running VIA Bus Master driver.
14) Notes
* It is recommended to install the CD-ROM which is not on the same
channel with the hard drive for the performance issue.
If you play VCD or DVD abnormally on some CD-ROM or DVD-ROM which
is on the same channel with hard drive, we recommand you to setup
the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM on the separatly channel.
* You should run the ATAPI ZIP 100MB setup program first for the
WinNT 3.51/4.0 in order to use ZIP ATAPI 100MB normally on your
system.
