- Scantools
- ============================
-
- This readme file contains information that have not been fully documented
- elsewhere.When you have finished reading this file, choose "Exit" from the
- File menu to return to Program Manager.
-
- 1. A 256-color super VGA or more colors display card is recommended.
- It is OK if you are using a 16-color VGA card; however, color
- quality of your images may be slightly inferior. Scantools can
- compensate for that and display images as well as possible.
-
- 2. You can run Scantools under Windows 3.1 or later version.
-
- 3. Notes about using TWAIN-compliant scanners:
- (a) In old systems, click OK after the scanning is completed will save
- the scanned image and transfer it to Windows. The screen
- also jumps to Windows screen.
- (b) If you click Cancel right after the scanning is completed, the
- screen will pop up a dialog box asking if you want to save the image
- before quitting.
- (c) In the present system, TWAIN source is changed in such a way that
- you click OK after the scanning is completed, the system when
- saves the scanned image but does NOT exit the current screen display.
- (d) Using EXIT instead of Cancel If you choose EXIT right after you
- have clicked OK, the screen will promptly jump to Windows.
- If the OK button is not clicked or you perform some editing tasks such
- as missing line compensation after the OK button is clicked, choosing
- EXIT will cause the screen to pop up a dialog box asking if you want to
- save. Choose YES if you want to save; otherwise choose NO.
-

- subdirectories/files onto your hard disk.

- 5. ASPI Manager Function and Operation
-
- 5.1 ASPI Manager Installation
-
- The ASPI manager was installed with the Scantools
- to the CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=[PATH\]AS80DOS.SYS <Parameters>
-
- This line must proceed any other line that installs
- drivers that depend on this ASPI manager for operation.
-
- Valid parameters are as follows:
-
- /b:<Base-Address> - The SCSI card will occupy 16-byte of I/O
- space. Set the proper jumper (J1,J2,J3) for the right
- I/O port address starting from 280 to 350.
-
- PortAddr \ Jumpers J1 J2 J3
-
- 280-28F X X X
- 290-29F O X X
- 300-30F X O X
- 310-31F O 0 X
- 330-33F X X O
- 340-34F O X O
- 348-357 X O O
- 350-35F O O O
-
-
- /d - Causes ASPI to displays a list of installed adapters
- and drives at initialization.
-
- /c - ASPI compatibility mode enable. When this parameter is
- used, the ASPI manager will make itself look
- to any clients identical to the Adaptec 1542 ASPI
- manager. This parameter is optional.
-
- /n[ASPI-Name] - ASPI name specification. [ASPI-Name] is
- optional. When [ASPI-Name] string is
- specified, the ASPI manager will use the
- string as the name that is used to "OPEN" the
- ASPI manager to get its entry address. If
- [ASPI-Name] is NOT present, then the ASPI
- manager will use a proprietary string different
- from the standard SCSIMGR$. This parameter is
- optional.
-
- /ir{ed#} - Enables/Disables SCSI Bus Reset issuance at
- initialization and also determines length of
- time that the manager waits following the issuance
- of the SCSI Bus Reset before it scans for
- devices. "d" disables SCSI Bus Reset at
- initialization while "e" or a decimal number enable
- it. If a decimal number is used to enable it,
- then the number is exactly the amount of time
- (in units of 50 msec) that will be waited following
- the issuance of the SCSI Bus Reset before devices
- are scanned for. If "e" is used to enable it,
- then the manager will wait 2 seconds before scanning
- for devices. This parameter is optional. Default is
- equivalent to specifying "e".
-
-
- 5.2 ASPI Manager Messages
-
- During initialization and after printing its banner,
- if the "/d" option is included on the command line,
- the ASPI manager will display a message for each
- installed adapter that it finds as follows:
-
- Adapter # found at base address #.
-
- where the first "#" is the index of the adapter (0
- for the first found, 1 for the second found, etc.)
- and the second "#" is the base address of the
- adapter in hex.
-
- Note that if an installed adapter's base address
- does NOT appear in this series of messages, then
- ASPI did not find it. This may be because it was
- not installed properly, is malfunctioning, or
- is not included on the command line with the
- "/b" parameter.
-
- Following this list of installed adapters will
- come a list of devices that the manager found in
- its initial device scan. If an installed device does
- NOT appear in this list, there may be a problem
- in the SCSI connection or with the device itself
- (e.g., device not powered-up).
-
- The following is a list of messages that indicate a
- fatal condition that will cause ASPI manager to
- abort installation:
-
- "No Adapters found!" -
- Problem: No adapters could be found.
- Solution: Check adapters, base-address-specifying
- parameter ("/b") usage.
-
- "Too many ASPI Managers already installed!" -
- Problem: Several ASPI managers have already been installed
- and there is no room for another.
- Solution: Remove one of the other ASPI managers to
- make room for this ASPI manager.
-
- "Registration of Host Adaptor with ASPI Manager Failed!" -
- Problem: Attempt to register the ASPI manager with
- an already-installed ASPI Shell failed.
- Solution: Move the "CONFIG.SYS" command line
- installing this ASPI manager to a place
- preceeding the command line installing the
- ASPI manager containing the offending ASPI
- Shell.
-
- "Invalid base address specified!"
- Problem: Specified base address is invalid.
- Solution: Fix the base address declaration on the
- "CONFIG.SYS" command line.
