AMI BIOS
NCR SCSI BIOS and Drivers
The NCR 53C810 SCSI BIOS resides on the same flash memory chip
as the system BIOS. To use the onboard NCR BIOS, you need to
install an NCR 53C810 SCSI controller card in your system.
All SCSI devices that you install in your system require software
drivers. The NCR SCSI BIOS directly supports SCSI hard disks
under DOS, Windows and OS/2. It also uses DOS-format and SCO
UNIX-format support floppy disk device drivers that come with the
NCR 53C810 SCSI controller card. The DOS-format device drivers
are for SCSI devices used with DOS, Windows NT, Novell NetWare
and OS/2. The SCO UNIX-format device drivers are for SCSI devices
used with SCO UNIX. These drivers offer higher performance than
the direct BIOS support.
To use the device drivers, you must install them in your system hard
disk drive and add them to your system configuration files.
detailed installation instructions, see the README files that come with
the drivers.
The system board also supports the AMI
Flash Memory Writer Utility that allows you
to upgrade the system BIOS. For more
information on this utility, contact your
local distributor.
