Adaptec 7800 Family Managers for NetWare 3.1X and 4.XX ====================================================== This diskette contains Adaptec's Novell solution for the AIC-7800 Family of Host Adapters. This includes: AHA-2910 PCI-to-Fast SCSI (non-bootable) AHA-2940 PCI-to-Fast SCSI AHA-2940W PCI-to-Fast and Wide Single-Ended SCSI AHA-2944W PCI-to-Fast and Wide Differential SCSI AHA-2940Ultra PCI-to-Wide UltraSCSI AHA-3940 MultiChannel PCI-to-Fast SCSI AHA-3940W MultiChannel PCI-to-Fast and Wide SCSI AIC-7850 Single-Chip PCI-to-Fast SCSI AIC-7870 Single-Chip PCI-to-Fast and Wide SCSI AIC-7880 Single-Chip PCI-to-UltraSCSI NOTE: To use CD-ROMs in conjunction with these drivers, EZ-SCSI version 3.03 or above must be installed. The following files on this diskette are required for the installation of the NetWare drivers: NetWare 3.1x \netware\v3_1x\aic7870.dsk \netware\v3_1x\aspitran.dsk \netware\v3_1x\aspicd.dsk NetWare 4.xx \netware\v4_xx\aic7870.dsk \netware\v4_xx\aic7870.ddi \netware\v4_xx\aspitran.dsk \netware\v4_xx\aspicd.dsk \netware\v4_xx\aspicd.ddi If required, please consult your DOS manual on how to move around the directory tree. Within a subdirectory, you will find a README.TXT file describing the driver(s) contained in that subdirectory. This disk provides the following NetWare drivers: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) AIC-7870 Family of Host Adapters Driver For NetWare 386 v3.1x. (\netware\v3_1x) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.) AIC-7870 Family of Host Adapters Driver For NetWare 386 v4.xx. (\netware\v4_xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.) ASPITRAN.DSK ASPI Transport Layer Manager Driver for NetWare v3.1x and v4.xx. (\netware\v3_1x) or (\netware\v4_xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.) AIC7870.DDI Driver definition information file for NetWare v4.xx only. (\netware\v4_xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.) ASPICD.DSK CD-ROM Driver for NetWare v3.1x and v4.xx. (\netware\v3_1x) or (.\netware\v4_xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.) ASPICD.DDI CD-ROM Driver definition information file for NetWare v4.xx only. (.\netware\v4_xx) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Problem with DDI file for Netware 4.0X -------------------------------------- There is a known problem which occurs during the installation of Netware 4.0X. This problem involves the DDI file used during the initialization of the host adapter device driver. The problem is that the DDI does not contain all the possible slot number options available on all PCI systems, as there are too many combinations. As a result, during the installation procedure, NetWare will report that it was unable to load the driver in the given amount of time. The cause of this is because the DDI file does not contain any slot options, which causes NetWare to be unable to load the driver. Note, however, that this is not an error. The user simply needs to go to the console screen and manually enter in the correct slot number and installation will continue.
