Special Operating System Notes
NOTE:
The following section pertains only to PC users who use IBM'S OS/2
operating system.
YOUR TASK:
Install OS/2 from your CD-ROM drive. Or, if you
already have installed OS/2, add CD-ROM support.
YOUR OBJECTIVE:
Utilize full capabilities of OS/2 on your computer.
YOUR METHOD:
Check to see if your SCSI interface board is
included on OS/2's list of supported hardware.
Follow IBM's installation instructions.
Installation Procedure
To install OS/2 2.1x from your OS/2 CD-ROM disk, you first need to verify that your
SCSI interface board is supported by OS/2. Check your OS/2 manual, and the README
file on the floppy disk that comes with the OS/2 CD-ROM, for information on which
SCSI interface boards OS/2 supports.
If your SCSI interface board is on OS/2's list of supported hardware, you can follow
the installation instructions provided by IBM.
However, if your SCSI interface board is not on OS/2's list of supported hardware, you
must contact the manufacturer of your board and request an OS/2 software device
driver. (See listing of key contact phone/fax/bbs numbers on page 65.)
The OS/2 device driver files that you need from your SCSI interface board's manufac-
turer end with an ''.ADD'' extension. They need to be copied into the CONFIG.SYS
file on the OS/2 installation floppy disk. Your SCSI interface board manufacturer will
provide you with specific instructions.
NOTE:
During the OS/2 installation procedure you will be presented with a list
entitled ''Installed Hardware.'' Do not change the settings that appear for
''SCSI Host Adapter'' or ''CD-ROM Drive.'' If you change these settings,
or even if you select and deselect them without changing them, CD-ROM
support will not be loaded correctly onto your computer. After you
reboot, your CD-ROM drive still will not appear in the ''Drives'' folder.
This is a bug that may be fixed in a future version of OS/2.
