MS-DOS/Windows 3.1x Driver Installation
Overview
The Initio ASPI driver will support extended SCSI command functions for MS-DOS 3.30
or later. The on-board BIOS initialized during the power up boot routine only supports
MS-DOS hard disk operation. If peripherals other than disks are used, such as CD-ROM
or MO, the Initio ASPI driver will need to be installed in addition to Initio CD-ROM and
MO drivers.
Installation
The installation procedure guides you through the installation of the Initio DOS ASPI
and the ASPI for Windows 3.1x drivers. The installation procedure described here
requires some experience in MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x system setup and administration.
The device driver is transferred from the INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW DRIVER DISK 1 to the hard
drive where it is automatically initialized during the system boot routine.
The INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW DRIVER DISK 1 contains two installation programs that perform
the same task. If you have completed installing the Initio ASPI driver using the MS-DOS
based installation routine described in this Users Manual, it is not necessary to repeat
the procedure for a Windows 3.1x environment on the same system.
Installing the ASPI drivers to an existing MS-DOS system
The ASPI driver is found on the INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW DRIVER DISK 1. It is important that
the SCSI bus hardware, and operating system are installed correctly before proceeding
further. If you need help installing the MS-DOS operating system, please refer to the
MS-DOS manual before proceeding.
1 Turn on host system and boot into MS-DOS.
2 Insert the INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW DRIVER DISK 1 into your floppy drive.
3 At the MS-DOS prompt, change to your active floppy drive (e.g., type A: <ENTER>).
4 Type DOSSETUP <ENTER> (A series of screens will guide you through the installation of
the ASPI device drivers).
5 The first screen sets the installation drive and directory that the ASPI driver will be
installed on. Follow the on-screen directions and/or options to continue the installa-
tion.
6 To activate the device driver, reboot the system by selecting the Reboot Now option
at the end of the installation process.
