The Advanced Power Management (APM) support also has been added for AIC-6360 chip used internally in notebooks. After the notebook goes through a suspend/resume cycle, the user should be able to access the devices connected to the SCSI bus as before, if devices remain same. The system will not hang in the case where the SCSI devices have been removed after suspend. This release has added /SN command line switch for CDROM to run synchronously as well as other devices. Without this switch CDROM will run asynchronous (default mode). This driver is based on OS/2 V3.0 (WARP) operating system. ***** NOTE ***** Currently, only one APA-1460 card is supported. Installation instructions for the APA-1460 OS/2 2.0 PCMCIA Driver 1) Open the OS/2 System folder, then open the Selective install. 2) Do PCMCIA installation. 3) Edit CONFIG.SYS file and add BASEDEV=AHA152x.add. 4) Copy AHA152x.add to \OS2\BOOT directory. 5) Do a SHUTDOWN and power off the system. 6) Insert the APA-1460 card into the PCMCIA socket and connect to the SCSI peripherals. 7) Power up and reboot the system. ***** NOTE ***** In order to install this driver for APA-1460 card, the system has to have OS/2 V3.0 pre-installed. Currently, IBM does not have the support for CDROM installation with any PCMCIA card attached to a CDROM. Therefore, it is NOT recommended to do OS/2 CDROM installation using PCMCIA card. Currently IBM does not have APM support for PCMCIA card. 11/09/93 Version number: 931109 Compiled with new him dated 06/25/93 Installation instructions for the AIC-6x60 OS/2 2.0 Driver 1) Open the OS/2 System folder, then open the System Setup folder. 2) Select Device Driver Install. 3) Insert the driver diskette in the appropriate drive. 4) CHANGE to the directory where the drivers are located. The OS/2 2.0 driver files are usually in the OS2_20 directory. 5) When you have found the drivers, select INSTALL. 6) The system will be scanned for host adapters. If a host adapter is found, you will see this message in a pop-up window: Installing Device Drivers Another message will appear when the driver has successfully been installed. If no host adapters are found, an error message will be displayed. ***** NOTE ***** If you are installing the driver on the GA release of OS/2 2.0, you cannot install the driver by selecting the icon in the System Setup folder. Instead, open a full-screen OS/2 session and go to the directory where the drivers reside. Then type DDINSTAL and press ENTER. The driver includes the following features: 1) Double word PIO transfers. 2) B-mode DMA transfers (EISA systems only) 3) Fast SCSI support. 4) Backward compatibility with the driver for the AIC-6260. 5) Extended BIOS translation is supported on the AIC-6360. 6) Full support for all command line options. Bug fixes since the previous (06/30/93) release: 1) Fixed problem in initializing DMA channel 6. There are new command line switches to support the new features on the driver. AHA152X.ADD This driver can support two host adapters and searches for them at ports 340H and 140H; boards are assigned adapter numbers in the order they are found. Universal Parameters /SN - Allow synchronous negotiation (DEFAULT). /!SN - Prevent synchronous negotiation. Special Unit Parameters /BOFF:t - allows the bus-off time to be set to a value between 1 and 15 microseconds. The default value for OS/2 2.0 is 4 microseconds and this should be used for most systems. (05/03/93 and later) *** This option is only supported by the AIC-6360 and requires an EISA system. /BON:t - allows the bus-on time to be set to a value between 1 and 15 microseconds. The default value for OS/2 2.0 is 7 microseconds and this value should be used for most systems. (05/03/92 and later) *** This option is only supported by the AIC-6360 and requires an EISA system. /CHAN:x - Specifies the DMA channel to be used in DMA mode. The available channels are 0, 5, 6 and 7. If an invalid channel is specifed, then 5 is used by default. *** This option is only supported by the AIC-6360 and requires an EISA system. /D - Allow targets to disconnect from the SCSI bus (DEFAULT). /!D - Prevent targets from disconnecting from the SCSI bus. /DMA - Use direct memory access to transfer data to/from the SCSI bus. *** This option is only supported by the AIC-6360 and requires an EISA system. (05/03/93 and later) /H:x - Specifies the host adapter SCSI ID. A number from 0-7 replaces x. The default ID is 7. If you specify an invalid number, the default is used. /PIO - Use programmed I/O to transfer data to/from the SCSI bus. (05/03/93 and later) /Y - Enable parity checking on the SCSI bus (DEFAULT). /!Y - Disable parity checking on the SCSI bus. For a complete list of all command line switches are their uses, please download one of the drivers from the OS/2 forum on our BBS. The BBS can be reached at (408) 945-7727. Bug fixes since the previous (06/30/93) release: 1) Fixed problem in initializing DMA channel 6. Changes made since the previous (07/30/93) release: 1) Supports BIOS new translation scheme (for BIOS signature 52H or 53H) for greater than 1GB hard disk drives.
