Version number: BETA 1.0 (941108)
This is a BETA 1.0 release of APA-460 Host adapter.
This driver version support APA-460 PCMCIA card for Laptops installed
with PCMCIA sockets and T160 Adapter card as well.
This release has added /ADDR command line switch. This will
allow users to choose a port address for 460 card.
Example: BASEDEV=T160SCSI.ADD /ADDR=360 will assign port address
360.
This driver is based on OS/2 V3.0 (WARP) operating system.
***** NOTE *****
Currently, only one APA-460 card is supported.
APA-460 card has 4 I/O space ranges defined: 360h-36fh, 350h-35fh,
260h-260h, and 250h-25fh. But, currently ONLY port 360h-36fh is working
with APA-460. The card services is failing to initialize other
ports. Therefore, the driver cannot detect the presence of a 460
card on any other ports besides 360h.
Installation instructions for the APA-460 OS/2 3.0 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=T160SCSI.ADD.
4) Copy T160SCSI.ADD to \OS2\BOOT directory.
5) Do a SHUTDOWN and power off the system.
6) Insert the APA-460 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-460 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.
