Loading the Controller’s Drivers

In NetWare, you must install from CD-ROM. Load your controller’s CD-
ROM drivers into a CONFIG.SYS file according to the controller’s
instructions.

You must also copy your DOS version’s MSCDEX.EXE into a C:\DOS (for
example) subdirectory.

Using an Adaptec Controller

If using an ADAPTEC controller, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Adaptec EZ-SCSI for DOS/Windows disk into Drive A and

follow the instructions on the label for syntax. In most cases, type
DOSINST and press Enter.

Your MSCDEX file is located in the C:\DOS subdirectory. By default,
your CD-ROM drive letter is drive D.

This Adaptec EZ-SCSI process should copy the appropriate files and
place two lines in your CONFIG.SYS and one line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:

CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI8DOS.SYS /D
DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0

AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASPICD0 /M:12

2. You must also install the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS file as a

prerequisite for DOS CD-ROM access:

files=12
buffers=15

3. Reboot to load the CD-ROM drivers.

4. Test the CD-ROM drive by inserting a CD into the drive, accessing it

with the DOS letter assigned, and performing a directory listing.
