3. DOS ASPI Drivers Installation
The ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series can be used as a host adapter for SCSI tape drives
and CD-ROM drives. To access such devices under DOS, it is necessary to install
the ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series DOS ASPI Manager device driver.
The ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series DOS ASPI Manager allows DOS/Windows appli-
cations and OS Installation Programs to access CD-ROM drives or SCSI tape
drives that are connected to and properly configured under the ASUS PCI-DA2000
Series. The ASUS PCI-DA2000 Series ASPI Manager and CD-ROM Driver are
installed as a device driver under DOS by adding the following command lines to
the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in the root directory of the boot
drive as follows:
In CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=[path1]I2DOSASP.SYS
DEVICE = [path1]ASPICDRM.SYS /d:[driver signature]
LASTDRIVE = [logical drive]
In AUTOEXEC.BAT file
[path2]MSCDEX /d:[driver signature]
where:
[path1] - A complete DOS path string including logical drive identifier and
subdirectories indicating where the file I2DOSASP.SYS can be found.
[path2] - A complete DOS path string including logical drive identifier and
subdirectories indicating where the Microsoft CD-ROM extension program
MSCDEX.EXE can be found.
[driver signature] - The signature for CD-ROM driver, the driver signature speci-
fied in CONFIG.SYS must match the driver signature specified in AUTOEXEC.BAT
mscdex command.
[logical drive] - The next alphabet of the last logical drive been assigned to hard disk
drives.
