Up to 4 ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series controllers can be installed in one computer.
The following files are supplied for driver installation, they are put in the \OS2
subdirectory.
DA2000.ADD:
ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series OS/2 2.x and 3.0 (Warp) Device Driver.
DA2000.DDP:
Device Driver Profile for driver installation.
README.OS2:
An text file describing the ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series OS/2 driver.
7.1. Installing OS/2 2.x or 3.0
Follow these steps only if OS/2 2.x, 3.0 is not installed on your computer or if you
are upgrading to OS/2 2.x or 3.0.
1 Use ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series BIOS Configuration Utility to disable ISA Mail-
box Emulation mode (default is disabled). To do this, at system bootup, press
[Ctrl-I], select Configure Card option, then change IO Port Address to DIS-
ABLED.
2 Use ASUS Text RAID Manager or RS-232 Terminal Interface Operation to
configure Logical Drives and SCSI Devices and map them to valid SCSI-IDs/
LUNs. Note that SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series
adapter and thus no logical drives or devices should be mapped to this
SCSI ID.
3 Prepare for the installation by using DISKCOPY (or any other disk-copy util-
ity) to make backup copy of IBM OS/2 installation diskette #1. Use this copy
as your working diskette #1.
4 Copy DA2000.ADD from ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series Distribution Diskette to
OS/2 installation diskette #1. Modify the CONFIG.SYS file on OS/2 installa-
tion diskette #1 to add the following line to the end of CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=DA2000.ADD /V
5 Follow the steps from IBM for installing OS/2.
