1. If installing WIN 95 using a CDROM, make sure that the
system can access the CDROM properly under DOS. The
DOS ASPI and CDROM driver must be loaded in the
Config.sys file.
ASPI DRIVERS:
===========
DTC 3280/3270/3150 ASPI3X80.SYS
DTC 3274 ASPI4VBM.SYS
DTC 3290 ASPI3X90.SYS
DTC 3292 ASPI3X92.SYS
CDROM DRIVER:
=============
All cards ADTC-CD.SYS
The MSCDEX.EXE driver must also be loaded in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
For DTC3150V:
=============
The config.sys file must contain:
DEVICE=C:\ASPI3x80.SYS /M:D800
DEVICE=C:\ADTC-CD.SYS /D:DTCCD
For DTC3280/3270:
=================
The config.sys file must contain:
DEVICE=C:\ASPI3x80.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ADTC-CD.SYS /D:DTCCD
For DTC3274:
============
In order for the DTC3274 driver to properly
load in CONFIG.SYS under WINDOWS 95, it is
necessary to rename the ASPI4VBM.SYS to
ASPI3X80.SYS.
a. While in DOS, rename the ASPI4VBM.SYS to
ASPI3X80.SYS.
C:> REN ASPI4VBM.SYS ASPI3X80.SYS
b. Be sure to load the new ASPI3X80.SYS
in the CONFIG.SYS.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ASPI3x80.SYS /Q
DEVICE=C:\ADTC-CD.SYS /D:DTCCD
For DTC3290:
============
a. Make sure that the config.sys file contains:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ASPI3x90.SYS /Q
DEVICE=C:\ADTC-CD.SYS /D:DTCCD
For DTC3292:
============
In order for the DTC3292 driver to properly
load in CONFIG.SYS under WINDOWS 95, it is
necessary to rename the ASPI3X92.SYS to
ASPI3X90.SYS.
a. While in DOS, rename the ASPI3X92.SYS to
ASPI3X90.SYS.
C:> REN ASPI3X92.SYS ASPI3X90.SYS
b. Be sure to load the new ASPI3X90.SYS
in the CONFIG.SYS.
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ASPI3x90.SYS /Q
DEVICE=C:\ADTC-CD.SYS /D:DTCCD
Refer to the DOS README file or Installation Guide
for additional information.
2. Add New Hardware.
a. Exit DOS back to WINDOWS.
b. Go to the CONTROL PANEL and select the
ADD NEW HARDWARE icon.
c. Select "NO" when asked, "Do you want
Windows to search for your new hardware?".
Click on the NEXT button and scroll down
to the SCSI CONTROLLERS. Select this and
click on the NEXT button.
d. The next screen displays a list of
Controller Card Manufacturers on the left
side and their corresponding products or
MODELS on the right side.
e. Click on HAVE DISK. Using BROWSE, select
the drive and path where the SCSI.INF file is
located. It will appear in the filename box.
Click on OK. Click on OK again.
f. Scroll down the MANUFACTURERS list until DTC
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP. is highlighted. Next,
highlight the correct MODEL number of the card.
Click on the NEXT button, once finished selecting
items.
g. Click NEXT again. If Win95 cannot find the .MPD file,
using Browse, select the drive and path again. Click
OK. Click OK again.
h. The next window displays the current
settings assigned for the card. The
option to modify these settings to the
correct values is not given at this time-
step #5 below will guide the user to make
these changes. Click on the NEXT button,
followed by the FINISH button.
i. A SYSTEM WINDOW will now appear prompting
the user to shut down the system. Choose
NO. If the system locks up at this point,
simply reboot and continue with step #3.
3. Set the correct values for the controller card's DRIVER
SETTINGS.
a. From the CONTROL PANEL, select the SYSTEM
icon. In the System Properties window,
choose the DEVICE MANAGER tab.
b. Make sure that "View devices by connection"
is selected. Highlight the DTC controller,
and click on the PROPERTIES button.
c. Select the RESOURCES tab. For the DTC329X,
double click the IO RANGE and select the
corresponding IO PORT ADDRESS that the
card is configured for (e.g 330H).
For all other cards, double click the
MEMORY RANGE to modify the setting. Do the
same for the INTERRUPT REQUEST line. Make
sure that the values chosen are the same
configured values on the card. For
instance, for the DTC3280 (if the card is
set to the default jumpers) the MEMORY
RANGE should be 000D8000-000DBFF and the
INTERRUPT REQUEST should be 11. Click the
OK button once verification of these
settings is completed, and click OK to
return to the CONTROL PANEL window.
4. For DTC 3280/3270/3150:
=======================
Before rebooting the system to load the WIN95 driver,
remark out any DTC SCSI DOS drivers (e.g. ASPI3X80.SYS,
ASCSI.SYS, ADTC-CD.SYS, MSCDEX.EXE) in the config.sys
file and autoexec.bat file. This step allows the user
to run the 32 bit miniport driver upon reboot.
SPECIAL NOTE: 3150 ONLY. IRQ5 is the only available IRQ
that DTC328X.MPD file will recoginize for the 3150. Please
redirect any other cards or conflicts to a different IRQ and set
the 3150 to IRQ5 only.
For DTC 3274/3290/3292:
=======================
Remark the ADTC-CD.SYS and the ASCSI.SYS driver in the
config.sys file and the MSCDEX.EXE in the autoexec.bat
file. Be sure to leave the other 2 lines mentioned in
step 1 loaded. This will configure the system to run
the 32 bit miniport driver upon reboot.
5. Click on START. Click on SHUTDOWN. Click on REBOOT computer.
6.0 Troubleshooting Tips
If you have a Yellow (!) on the DTC Miniport driver under SCSI controllers:
6.1. Try copying the .MPD driver into the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS directory.
a. COPY the correct .MPD driver based on the
controller card's model number. For
example, if the card is either a
DTC3280/3270/3150, type:
C:\> COPY A:\DTC328X.MPD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
6.2. Reinstall DTC Miniport driver following Procedure number 4.
Please make sure that the driver copies successfully.
6.3. Check the SCSI controller settings making sure that the Hardware settings
match the Software settings:
a. Click on the DTC Miniport driver.
b. Click on PROPERTIES and then Click on RESOURCES.
c. Verify that the Software matches the Hardware settings:
I/O Port Address
Interrupt Request
Memory Range (3290/3292 only)
d. After confirmation and making any necessary changes,
Click on OK.
e. Restart Computer or Shutdown.
6.4. 3290/3292 ONLY. EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY.
a. Run your EISA configuration utility and make note
of all settings, IO port address, IRQ, and Memory
Range. You will need these settings to setup your
3290/3292.
b. If an UNKNOWN EISA card comes up in DEVICE MANAGER.
Click on UNKNOWN EISA CARD in Slot ? Click on PROPERTIES.
Click on Change Driver. Follow Section 2, ADD NEW HARDWARE.
This will remove that error message.
