disk.

1. Start the NT installation by booting from the Microsoft Setup floppy disk.
2. Press Enter when the Welcome to Setup screen appears.

Setup is chosen, the installation program scans for SCSI adapters and
will fail to find the AK47 controller.)
4. Press S to skip mass storage device detection.
5. When a screen displays the SCSI adapters found, choose S to configure
additional SCSI adapters.
6. Move the highlight bar to Other and press Enter.
7. When prompted for Manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk, insert your
driver diskette (the one prepared in * Preparing a AK47 Driver
Diskette *) and press Enter.
8. The CSC AK47 Miniport driver should be shown highlighted. Press Enter
to proceed.
9. NT should now recognize the Miniport driver and the SCSI hardware. Press
Enter to continue.
At this point, simply follow the Microsoft Windows NT installation
procedure.
