CHAPTER 5: Driver Installation
5.6 Installing Drivers for IBM OS/2
The OS/2 driver for your
Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter
will support OS/2 3.0 and
4.0. The device driver for OS/2 is copied from Driver Disk 1 to your hard drive,
from which it is automatically loaded during bootup.
The files on Driver Disk 1
associated with the OS/2 driver are “\OS2\INIA100.ADD”
(the driver itself) and
“\OS2\INIA100.DDP” (the script file for installing the driver).
The Adapter driver developed for OS/2 will be installed on the disk drive used
for system initialization. The driver is loaded during the system boot routine and
will remain resident on the drive. This is accomplished by following one of the two
installation procedures listed in this section: either for new OS/2 installation or for
adding the Adapter’s OS/2 device driver to an existing OS/2 system.
These procedures differ significantly from one another. We strongly suggest that
you carefully read the instructions for the procedure you plan to use and make
sure you understand them before proceeding with the corresponding system-
configuration changes. In addition, Driver Disk 1 contains a README.TXT file
that might contain important updated information about the procedures
described in this chapter; we recommend that you read it and use it when you
perform the driver installation.
