1.) Restart in MSDOS mode and install your EZSCSI software from
    Adaptec by running DOSINST from the EZSCSI diskette.
2.) EZSCSI will automatically install the 16-bit ASPI manager in your 
    Config.sys file.  If you are using the AHA-1535 card provided, you 
    should see the following line in the Config.sys file:
    DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D
3.) Restart system in MSDOS Mode
4.) Go to the directory with the firmware you just downloaded
5.) Run the program called "CDOWN384"
    You will see the firmware get loaded into your computers memory.
6.) When prompted "Waiting for user" hit the F2 key
7.) Answer "Y" to the question and hit the ENTER key
8.) When you are prompted again with "Waiting for user", hit the ESC
    key twice to exit.  You firmware download is complete now.
9.) Erase the firmware files as they can only cause trouble at this
    point. (CDOWN384.EXE, RCD1000.235, RCD235.EXE, README.TXT)
10.) Edit your config.sys file and delete the line that contains the
     ASPI manager(DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D /P130)
     - Reboot your computer

WINDOWS 95 USERS & PLUG and PLAY(PnP)
-------------------------------------
If you are using your AHA-1535 card in PnP mode, then follow these
instructions:

1.) Right mouse click on the "My Computer" icon in your Win95 desktop.
    - Point to Properties and click the left mouse button.
    - Left click on the "Device Manager" tab
    - Left click on the "+" next to the SCSI CONTROLLERS line
    - Double left click on the 1535 Plug and Play driver
    - Left click on the "Resources" tab
    - Note the Input Output address(i.e., 330, 130, 230, etc.)
2.) Restart in MSDOS mode and install your EZSCSI software from
    Adaptec by running DOSINST from the EZSCSI diskette.
3.) EZSCSI will automatically install the 16-bit ASPI manager in your 
    Config.sys file.  If you are using the AHA-1535 card provided, you 
    should see the following line in the Config.sys file:
    DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D
    Edit your config.sys file and add the "/P" switch to the end of this 
    line and include the Input/Output address you noted in step 1, 
    i.e., "/P130".  Now the device line looks like this:
    DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D /P130
    This may have already been done for you by the Adaptec EZSCSI 
    installation.
4.) Restart system in MSDOS Mode
5.) Go to the directory with the firmware you just downloaded
6.) Run the program called "CDOWN384"
    You will see the firmware get loaded into your computers memory.
7.) When prompted "Waiting for user" hit the F2 key
