3-4 Installing the Software Drivers
ASPI Support
Certain applications require the use of the Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI). The information supplied with your application will specify whether or not ASPI support is required.
Figure 3-1 shows which NLMs and device drivers are required for different applications. For example, if you have installed a Compaq SLR Drive with a 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Controller and you wish to use a NetWare version
4.x ASPI application, you can load the following drivers:
■CPQSCSI.HAM for the controller
■NWPA.NLM for the drive (automatically loaded when you load
CPQSCSI.HAM)
■NWASPI.CDM to provide the ASPI interface
NOTE: Either of the following ASPI drivers can be used:
■CPQASPI.NLM, version 1.14 or higher
■NWASPI.CDM, version 1.00n - which supports the NWPA specification
