Updating The Windows 95 Miniport Driver - Adaptec SlimSCSI 1450 User Manual

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:
1
If Windows 95 is not already running, start it now.
2
Insert the Windows 95 drivers diskette in the portable PC's
floppy disk drive.
3
Double-click the My Computer icon and Double-click the
Control Panel icon.
4
Double-click the Add New Hardware icon. The Add New
Hardware Wizard screen appears.
5
Click Next. When the next screen appears, select No and click
Next.
6
When the next screen appears, select the SCSI controllers icon
and click Next. (You may need to scroll down before you can
see the icon.)
7
When the next screen appears, click Have Disk. Type a: if it
does not already appear on the screen, and click OK.
8
When the next screen appears, select APA-1450B PCMCIA
SCSI Host Adapter, if it is not already highlighted, and click
Next.
9
When the next screen appears, click Finish.
10
Reboot 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.
