INSTALLING SCO UNIX 3.2.x DEVICE DRIVER FOR SiS IDE ADAPTER
====================================================================
First, install SCO UNIX 3.2.4.x or SCO Open Desktop 2.x
using the default SCO IDE driver. Please remember "sism.tar" and "siss.tar"
is for master mode & slave mode respectively.
This is a example for Master mode driver's installation.
1) Boot your SCO UNIX system and bring it into single-user mode.
2) Use doscp command to copy the file sism.tar to your /tmp directory.
e.g. if you are using CD-ROM drive D, type
doscp D:/sco/sism.tar /tmp
if you are using floppy drive A, type
doscp A:/sco/sism.tar /tmp
3) Have a SCO UNIX-formatted diskette ready.
4) From root, type the following commands
mkdir /sis
cd /sis
tar xvf /tmp/sism.tar .
5) Now, insert the diskette into the drive and issue the following command.
tar cvf /dev/(your floppy drive 0 device name) .
À-> Current Directory
Example : tar cvf /dev/rfd0135ds18 . --------> for 1.44M drive A
Your floppy drive 0 device name could be:
rfd096ds15 - 5.25 DSHD
rfd0135ds18 - 3.5 DSHD
rfd048ds9 - 5.25 DSDD
rfd0135ds9 - 3.5 DSDD
6) You are now ready to install the driver package for SiS IDE Scounix
Driver.
Start the installation by typing
custom
7) Follow the instruction to install the SiS IDE Scounix Driver to system.
(See *Note 1) The new kernel will be built and the original kernel
will be renamed to unix.old.
8) Reboot your system for the new kernel to take effect. The new kernel
should initialize the chip to the new timing setting.
*Note 1 :
A) Please select item 2 "Add a hard disk to SCSI controller"
B) Input "sis" when the system prompt you to "enter the prefix
of the SCSI host Adapter".
C) Determine which channel or mode do you want to install during
the installation process.
Example :
Channel 0, Master -----> adapter=0, Target=0, LUN=0
Channel 0, Slave -----> adapter=0, Target=1, LUN=0
Channel 1, Master -----> adapter=1, Target=0, LUN=0
Channel 1, Slave -----> adapter=1, Target=1, LUN=0
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).
