Summary of Contents for Adaptec IBM OS/2 v2.x & Warp
- Page 2 After having exposed the installation of the ICP Controller in chapters B and C as well as that of the host-drives, we would now like to give you some hints and pieces of advice on how to install IBM's operating system OS/2 Versions 2.x and Warp. Furthermore, we explain how to install a CD-ROM drive (representatively standing for any other Not Direct Access De- vice) under OS/2.
- Page 3 The OS/2 installation itself is carried out according to the OS/2 installation program. After having completed the installation, you should check that the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file created during the OS/2 installation contains the following line: BASEDEV=GDTX000.ADD /V and that the driver GDTX000.ADD is either in the OS/2 or the root directory: GDTX000.ADD \OS2\GDTX000.ADD If this line is missing you have to add it to your CONFIG.SYS file.
- Page 4 (an exact description of the command line switches can be found in the next chapter, E.5). Now install the corelSCSI software from the corelSCSI OS/2 floppy disk. After the restart of OS/2, the CD-ROM drive can be accessed. The GDTX000.ADD driver can be configured with the following command line switches. The names of the switches are IBM OS/2 compliant.
- Page 5 Reserve a SCSI device (channel d, SCSI-ID e) as a raw device, which is directly operated through OS/2 (the data are not cached by the GDT cache). This SCSI- device must not be initialized with GDTSETUP (it may need to be de-initialized). If reciprocally exclusive options have been selected, the one set last is effective.
