Enclosed in this diskette are device drivers for DC2000 VL-Bus IDE Disk
Controller.
DC2000.SYS is the driver for DOS
DC2000.386 is the driver for Microsoft Windows 3.1
P2000310.DSK is for Netware 386 3.10.
P2000311.DSK is for Netware 386 3.11.
+===============================================+
| DOS Driver for DC2000 VL-Bus IDE Controller |
+===============================================+
The file DC2000.SYS is the DOS driver for DC2000 disk controller. You
will need it under following situations:
- Your DC2000 has no on-board external BIOS to take the advantage of
the high speed 32-bit VL-Bus.
- Your DC2000 has on-board external BIOS, but it can not work under the
default Turbo mode. You need to select the operating mode every time
when you power up or reboot your system.
Please follow the steps below to install the driver for DOS.
- Follow the installation steps as described in the DC2000 Installation
Guide and bring up your DC2000.
- Copy the driver DC2000.SYS to your system in the appropriate path.
- Add the following statement in your CONFIG.SYS file:
device = [drive:][\path\] DC2000.sys [/F or /T]
where [drive:] and [\path\] point to the directory that contains the
the DC2000.sys file. The parameters F and T define the operating mode
as follows:
F : DC2000 working in the Fast mode
T : DC2000 working in the TURBO mode
Example:
If the DOS driver DC2000.SYS resides in the root directory of the
drive C:, and you want your DC2000 to run under TURBO mode, add the
following statement to the file CONFIG.SYS.
device= c:\DC2000.sys /t
+========================================================+
| Microsoft Windows version 3.1 disk driver for DC2000 |
+========================================================+
The file DC2000.386 is the Microsoft Windows 3.1 disk driver for
DC2000 controller.
While Microsoft Windows version 3.1 supports 32-bit disk access, the
disk data transfer between host and the IDE adapter is still limited
by the 16-bit ISA bus. If you want to speed up your hard drives under
Windows through the 32-bit VL-Bus and multiple sectors Read/Write,
you will need this driver.
Please follow the steps below to install the driver for DC2000.
1. Copy the driver DC2000.386 to your system in the appropriate path.
It is recommended that the driver DC2000.386 be copied to the Windows
SYSTEM directory.
2. Check if the following lines exist in the [386Enh] section of your
SYSTEM.ini file.
[386Enh]
32BitDiskAccess=ON
device=*int13
If the statements do not exist, add them into the [386Enh] section.
If the statements exist, but 32BitDiskAccess is set to "OFF", you
need to change it to "ON".
3. Install the virtual device "DC2000.386".
Add the following command lines in the [386Enh] section of the
SYSTEM.INI file:
device=[drive:][\path\]DC2000.386
DisksAccessMode=[Fast or Turbo]
The [drive:] and [\path\] point to the directory that contains
DC2000.386 file. Note that the setting must specify the full path
of the device driver DC2000.386.
The disks access mode setting specifies disk access under fast mode
or turbo mode.
4. Delete the "device=*wdctrl" device setting.
Delete the command line "device=*wdctrl" from the [386Enh] section
of your SYSTEM.INI file, if it exists.
+=======================================+
| Netware 3.xx disk driver for DC2000 |
+=======================================+
Please follow the steps below to install the driver for Netware 3.10.
Use P2000311.DSK instead of P2000310.DSK in the following procedure when
you are installing Netware 3.11. Note that you don't need to load the
ISADISK.DSK when you are installing the Netware driver for DC2000.
1. After you have installed the DC2000, bring up the Netware server
until the prompt ":" appears on the screen.
2. Type the following command after the ":" prompt:
:load P2000310 [/F or /T] port=1f0 int=e
The parameters F and T define the operating mode as follows:
F : DC2000 working in the Fast mode
T : DC2000 working in the TURBO mode
