Updating the Windows 95 Miniport Driver

Windows 95 has built-in software support for the SlimSCSI 1450. This means that when you install the SlimSCSI 1450, Windows auto- matically finds and installs the driver for it. However, you may be able to achieve better data I/O performance by installing the updated driver from the diskette included with the SlimSCSI 1450. Follow these steps if you wish to do this:

1If Windows 95 is not already running, start it now.

2Insert the Windows 95 drivers diskette in the portable PC’s floppy disk drive.

3Double-click the My Computer icon and Double-click the Control Panel icon.

4Double-click the Add New Hardware icon. The Add New Hardware Wizard screen appears.

5Click Next. When the next screen appears, select No and click Next.

6When the next screen appears, select the SCSI controllers icon and click Next. (You may need to scroll down before you can see the icon.)

7When the next screen appears, click Have Disk. Type a: if it does not already appear on the screen, and click OK.

8When the next screen appears, select APA-1450B PCMCIA SCSI Host Adapter, if it is not already highlighted, and click Next.

9When the next screen appears, click Finish.

10Reboot your PC if Windows 95 prompts you to do so; if there is no prompt, you do not need to reboot in order to start using the new driver.
