- I'm using an Adaptec 1542B with a CD Technology drive which is the Toshiba
- 3301. Works fine under both DOS and NT.
-
- You need two Adaptec software packages that are available from Adaptec's
- distributors:
- ASW-1410 -- ASPI drivers for DOS
- ASW-410 -- CD ROM ASPI drivers for several CDROM drives
-
- My CONFIG.SYS has:
- device=c:\asw1410\aspi4dos.sys
- device=c:\asw410\aswcdtsh.sys /D:ASPICD0
-
- My AUTOEXEC.BAT has:
- c:\dos\setver
- c:\asw410\mscdex /D:ASPICD0 /L:F /M:12 /V
-
- The ASW-1410 package is included in the "kit" version of the 1542B (1542BK).
- I beleive that ASW-410 must be purchased separately.
-
- I don't know of any freeware/shareware that can be used for this purpose.
