Installing Software
Drivers for OS/2
After configuring your system for use with the SCSI interface, you
need to install software drivers so that your operating system
recognizes and accesses the SCSI devices.
If you are using OS/2, version 1.1, you need to install the
Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) OS/2 1.1 Manager.
OS/2 uses the ASPI OS/2 Manager to communicate with the SCSI
adapter card and to access additional SCSI devices connected to it.
You need to install the ASPI OS/2 Manager when your version of
OS/2 provides no SCSI support. If your version of OS/2 includes
the SCSI Manager, and you install the ASPI OS/2 Manager, OS/2
accesses the ASPI OS/2 Manager instead of the original OS/2 SCSI
Manager.
The ASPI OS/2 Manager
The filename of the device driver that installs the ASPI OS/2
Manager is ASPI4OS2.SYS. This device driver manages the interface
between the SCSI adapter card and the SCSI devices for OS/2.
The ASPI OS/2 Manager also requires the installation of an ASPI
disk driver, named SCSIOl.SYS. This disk driver supports the disk
drives that you connect to the SCSI interface.
The SCSIOl.SYS disk driver is similar to the OS/2 driver DISKO1.SYS
with additional support for the ASP1 OS/2 Manager.
Note
SCSI01 .SYS supports up to two hard disk drives only.
