6.6 SDMS drivers

The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip implementations.

We provide PCI SDMS device drivers for the following operating systems:

MS-DOS/Windows

Windows 95/98

Windows NT - 3.51 and above

OS/2 4.x Warp

SCO UNIX - Open Server 5.0.2 and above

Novell NetWare - 3.12, 4.11 (NWPA)

Note:

When you start the Windows NT installation with

 

either a CD-ROM boot or from the floppy disks, a

 

black screen will initially appear with the following

 

text at the top:

configuration...

While this is on the screen (before entering the initial blue screen), press the F6 key. Windows NT setup will allow a SCSI driver to be added before the second disk is requested. Add the appropriate driver from a prepared floppy disk. Follow the rest of the instructions to finish the installation.
