SCSIMODE User's Guide
Getting Started
______________________________________________________
Introduction
The SCSI architecture allows a variety of devices to coexist
on a SCSI bus, linked to the host computer with an adapter.
The Adaptec SCSI card provides a standard hardware interface
which supports major types of SCSI peripherals.
The Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) provides a
protocol for SCSI device drivers and programs to submit I/O
requests to host computer systems. The ASPI manages host
adapter resources and provides the hardware independent ASPI
for SCSI application and device drivers. Installation of
different adapters to the system differs between operating
systems.
SCSIMODE is a hardware/software interface that allows the
user in the field to change SCSI mode parameters and perform
basic SCSI functions on the IBM SCSI disk drives. The
following drives are supported:
0661 (Lightning/Turbo)
0663 (Corsair I/Corsair II)
0663E (Corsair II Enhanced)
0664 (Allicat S10/Allicat S20)
0662 (Spitfire)
DFHS/DFMS (Starfire)
SCSI drives other than the ones listed above can also be
used. They will be recognized by the program as "Generic"
drives. The mode parameters on generic drives may not
correspond to the supported drives.
Requirements
IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2 compatible computer with at least 640K RAM.
A SCSI controller with ASPI support or an IBM SCSI Adapter.
