**** 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.
*******************************************************
This code is intended for testing and evaluation only!
There is no warranty either expressed or implied.
*******************************************************
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.
