DOS Drivers for CD-ROM Access

The CD-ROM drivers need to be installed only if DOS access to a
CD-ROM drive attached to a SCSI host adapter is required. If
Windows 95, Windows 98, or NetWare is already installed, or if the
CD-ROM drive is not connected to a SCSI adapter, these drivers do
not need to be copied or installed. However, you may choose to
install these drivers if you are having trouble accessing your
CD-ROM from Netare or Windows 95/98.
Note:
You do not need these drivers for Windows NT or
UNIX.

Install CD-ROM Drivers on a DOS Bootable Hard Disk

The following systems files should be modified:
config.sys
autoexec.bat
1
Copy the files aspi8u2.sys and aspicd.sys from the DOS
directory of the Ultra160 Family Manager Set disk for
Windows to your C drive. At the DOS prompt, type the
following lines and press Enter after each line:
mkdir c:\scsi
copy a:\dos\*.* c:\scsi
2
Modify config.sys for loading aspi8u2.sys and aspicd.sys ,
which is necessary for connecting a CD-ROM. Either create
this file in C:\ if you do not currently have a config.sys , or add
these lines to the existing config.sys file. Note that you may
need to change the path for the drivers.
device=c:\scsi\aspi8u2.sys /d
device=c:\scsi\aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0
3
Modify autoexec.bat for loading mscdex.exe . Either create this
file in C:\ if you do not currently have autoexec.bat , or add
these lines to the existing autoexec.bat file.
c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:aspicd0 /m:12
