The aic78xx.mpd driver supports all Adaptec7800 Family Ultra2 SCSI (and earlier) host adapters, and the aic78u2.mpd driver supports all Ultra2 SCSI adapters. Refer to the list.

If you are performing a first time Windows 95 installation, see Installing the Driver When Installing Windows 95 If Windows 95 is already installed in your system, see Installing the Driver When Windows 95 is Already Installed.

Note: When Windows 95 starts, if a New Hardware Found dialog is displayed after your 7800 Family Manager Set host adapter has been installed, you must select the Driver from Disk Provided by Hardware Manufacturer option. Insert your Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set v. 3.01 diskette into the floppy drive and type a:\win95 as the path. Then, follow the on screen instructions.

Installing the Driver When Installing Windows 95

A version of the aic78xx.mpd (Ultra2 SCSI) driver is embedded (included) in the Windows 95 installation CD-ROM. During a normal Windows 95 installation, the 7800 Family host adapter (Ultra2 SCSI or earlier) is detected in your system and the embedded aic78xx.mpd driver is automatically installed.

Note: If the Windows 95 installation cannot detect the 7800 Family host adapter(Ultra2 SCSI or earlier) installed in your computer, or you are installing the aic78u2.mpd driver for an Ultra2 SCSI host adapter, you must install the driver manually after Windows 95 is complete. Follow the procedures in the section Installing the Driver When Windows 95 is Already Installed, below
