adapter. You also should turn the SCAN option OFF. Here is the
edited GUEST.INI file:
[----scan for existing ASPI managers---]
SCAN=OFF
[----Load aspi managers----]
;ASPI=ASPIPPA3.SYS SCAN /INFO SL360=NO SMC=NO
;ASPI=ASPI1616.SYS SCAN /INFO
ASPI=ASPIPC16.SYS SCAN /INFO
;ASPI=ASPIPC8.SYS SCAN /INFO
;ASPI=ASPIPC2.SYS SCAN /INFO
;ASPI=ASPIPC4.SYS SCAN /INFO
Once you have made these changes the GUEST program should load without
error.
Using GUEST with ASPI Managers
The GUEST utility uses ASPI managers to communicate with the devices
connected to a SCSI host adapter. The Install diskette for Windows/DOS
includes a set of ASPI managers for some adapters. If you have a host
adapter that uses ASPI manager software not contained on the diskette,
you may need to edit the GUEST.INI file and add a line for this ASPI
manager. (If the adapter does not have an ASPI manager, GUEST will not
be able to operate.)
Edit the GUEST.INI file as described below:
Use a text editor to open the GUEST.INI file. The GUEST.INI file is a
text file on the Install diskette for Windows/DOS. You can use the
Notepad in Windows, the DOS EDIT program, or any other ASCII text
editor to edit the GUEST.INI file.
Add a command line for the ASPI manager, using the following syntax:
ASPI=<full path for ASPI manager><ASPI manager filename>
The following line is an example for an ASPI2DOS ASPI manager located
in the directory C:\ASPI:
ASPI=C:\ASPI\ASPI2DOS.SYS
If you do not know the path or filename for the ASPI manager, see the
documentation that came with the adapter or ASPI software. Save the
changes to the GUEST.INI file and exit the text editor. If you are
using an editor that has a variety of file formats, be sure to save
the GUEST.INI file as ASCII text or MS-DOS text.
