MS-DOS Driver Installation

Overview

The on-board BIOS initialized during the power up boot routine only supports
MS-DOS hard disk operation. If peripherals other than disks are used, such as
CD-ROM or tape, the Initio ASPI driver will need to be installed in addition to
third party applications and utilities such as the Corel SCSI utilities included in
this kit. The Initio ASPI driver will support extended SCSI command
functions for MS-DOS 3.30 or later.

Installation

The installation procedure guides you through the installation of the Initio DOS
ASPI and the ASPI for Windows 3.1x drivers. The installation procedure
described here requires some experience in MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x system
setup and administration. The device driver is transferred from the INITIO INI-
9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 1 to the hard drive where it is automatically
initialized during the system boot routine.

The INITIO INI-9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 1 contains two installation
programs that perform the same task. If you have completed installing the
Initio ASPI driver using the MS-DOS based installation routine described in
this User’s Manual, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure for a Windows
3.1x environment on the same system.

Installing the Initio ASPI driver to an existing MS-DOS system

The ASPI driver is found on the INITIO INI-9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK
1. It is important that the SCSI bus hardware, and operating system are
installed correctly before proceeding further. If you need help installing the
MS-DOS operating system, please refer to the MS-DOS manual before
proceeding.

1. Turn on host system and boot into MS-DOS.

2. Insert the INITIO INI-9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 1 into your

floppy drive.
