Adaptec Unix group 10/16/95 DOS BBS / UNIX Driver Disk Conversion THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES THAT ANY CONFIGURATION OF ANY UNIX SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE TO PREPARE THE "Manager Set" FLOPPY DISK 1. Copy this DOS file to a DOS formatted floppy in the a: drive using the DOS copy command (3.5" DSHD 1.44 prefered). 2. Boot the UNIX computer and change to the /tmp directory (single-user maintenance mode is preferred, otherwise login as user root). 3. Transfer the file to the UNIX hard disk. Use the appropriate UNIX copy command. In SCO Xenix, UNIX or ODT, the command is: doscp a:7700v21.ddz /tmp/7700v21.dd.Z In UnixWare use the Disks-etc window and click on the floppy diskette icon. Move the 7700v21.ddz file to a temporary folder and rename the file using the mv command to 7700v21.dd.Z. If you have a version of SCO Unix based on release 3.2v4.0 or 3.2v4.1 substitue sco_old for 7700v21. This adapter has no driver support for SCO Unix release 3.2v2.0 or earlier. 4. Format a fresh UNIX floppy (size: 3.5" DSHD 1.44). In SCO Xenix, UNIX or Open DeskTop (ODT), the command is: format /dev/rfd0135ds18 In UnixWare the command is: format /dev/rdsk/f0q18dt 5. Uncompress the file. Use the UNIX command: uncompress 7700v21.dd.Z This will convert the file to 7700v21.dd 6. Copy the image file to the floppy disk: In SCO Xenix, UNIX or Open DeskTop (ODT), the command is: dd if=7700v21.dd of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 In UnixWare the command is: dd if=7700v21.dd of=/dev/rdsk/f0q18dt 7. If you have a version of SCO UNIX that was originally installed from 5.25" floppies, then you need to follow the instructions in the text file UNIX3TO5.TXT to be able to convert the 3.5" driver diskette to a 5.25" driver diskette. 8. Use this disk for "normal" installation/upgrade purposes per standard documentation. In SCO UNIX, ODT or Open Enterprise 5 during a fresh install type: link at the Boot: prompt and press <ENTER>, use the driver name of arad for SCO 3.2v4.x or arad325 for Open Enterprise 5 when prompted for the driver package name. If SCO UNIX is already up and running use the installpkg command to install the driver. In UnixWare during a fresh install insert this disk when prompted for the Host Bus Adapters Drivers Diskette. The host adapter uses IRQ 15 for UnixWare 1.x and will not work with other channels. Extended BIOS translation should be disabled on our adapter before starting the installation. If UnixWare is up and running use the pkgadd command to install the driver. IE. pkgadd -d diskette1.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
