Initio INI-9100UW user manual MS-DOS Driver Installation, Overview

MS-DOS Driver Installation

Overview

The on-board BIOS initialized during the power up boot routine only supports MS-DOS hard disk operation. If peripherals other than disks are used, such as CD-ROM or tape, the Initio ASPI driver will need to be installed in addition to third party applications and utilities such as the Corel SCSI utilities included in this kit. The Initio ASPI driver will support extended SCSI command functions for MS-DOS 3.30 or later.

Installation

The installation procedure guides you through the installation of the Initio DOS ASPI and the ASPI for Windows 3.1x drivers. The installation procedure described here requires some experience in MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x system setup and administration. The device driver is transferred from the INITIO INI- 9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 1 to the hard drive where it is automatically initialized during the system boot routine.

The INITIO INI-9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 1 contains two installation programs that perform the same task. If you have completed installing the Initio ASPI driver using the MS-DOS based installation routine described in this User’s Manual, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure for a Windows 3.1x environment on the same system.
