Overview
I/OHIGHWAY will support Windows NT v3.5x/4.0 with the addition of a software driver. A
software driver allows the host computer the ability to transfer data over the SCSI bus.
The device driver for Windows NT is copied from the Initio driver installation diskette to
your hard drive where it is loaded onto the computing system during installation.
The following files are used for installation and may be found on the INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW
DRIVER DISK 1
:
\WINNT\INI910U.SYS INI-9XXX SCSI Host Adapter Windows-NT miniport driver.
\WINNT\TXTSETUP.OEM Script file for installing INI910U.SYS during the text setup phase.
\WINNT\OEMSETUP.INF Script file for installing INI910U.SYS during the windows phase.
Installation
The INI-9XXX driver developed for Windows NT will be installed on the hard 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 installa-
tion procedures listed:
 New Windows NT installation
 Adding or updating the INI-9XXX Host Adapter Driver to an existing Windows NT
System
The procedures described to make changes to the system have distinct differences. It is
strongly suggested that the selected procedure be read and understood before proceed-
ing with the system configuration changes. Please read the instructions carefully.
New Windows NT Installation
These instructions will guide you through the installation of the Initio host adapter driver
while installing Windows NT 4.0. Windows NT will be installed from either floppy
diskettes or CD-ROM. The Windows NT driver is located on the INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW

. It is important that the hardware has been installed successfully before
proceeding further.
