/NORST
/Sn
Prevents SCSI devices from being reset during
initialization if the SCSI BIOS is disabled. (Valid with
ASPI4DOS.SYS only.) If you omit this switch, the SCSI
devices are reset during initialization if the SCSI BIOS is
disabled. When the BIOS is enabled, it resets the SCSI
devices during initialization.
Sets the slot number where the driver will find your
SCSI adapter. (Valid with ASPIEDOS.SYS only.) If this
option is not used, the driver will scan the slots, starting
with slot 1, and install any adapters it finds.
Using Multiple Epson SCSI Adapter Cards
You can install multiple Epson SCSI adapter cards in your
computer. For each card, you need to install a separate
ASPI4DOS.SYS or ASPIEDOS.SYS device driver.
The ASPI MS-DOS Manager identifies the port address of each SCSI
adapter card. Use the /P switch to identify a unique port address in
Standard mode. This address must match the address you select for
the I/O Port Definition in the System Configuration program. In
Enhanced mode, the port addresses are automatically assigned.
The ASPI Disk Driver
The ASPI disk driver allows you to use a SCSI disk drive that is not
installed under the BIOS of the SCSI adapter card.
You need to install the ASPI disk driver when you are installing a
drive in the SCSI interface and the following conditions exist:
❏ The system already has two hard disk drives installed
❏ The SCSI hard disk drive has a SCSI ID other than 0 or 1
❏ The drive is a removable hard disk.
MS-DOS installs the ASPIDISK.SYS driver only if it finds partitions
on a SCSI hard disk drive that are not installed on the BIOS of the
SCSI adapter card.
