1.  Upgrading to CorelSCSI 2
----------------------------

If you're upgrading from CorelSCSI for DOS or Windows
version 1.2 or earlier, you must remove any system patches,
using the existing version of CorelSCSI, before installing
CorelSCSI 2.

To remove a patch
1.  At the command prompt, enter PATCH.
2.  Select Remove Patch.


2.  Installing ASPI Managers & ASPI Device Driver
--------------------------------------------------

For your convenience, CorelSCSI includes the ASPI managers
for many host adapters, which you can install during the
installation.

If the ASPI manager for your card isn't provided with
CorelSCSI, you must install the ASPI manager and load it in
your CONFIG.SYS file before installing CorelSCSI. If you
have problems with any ASPI manager, contact the
manufacturer of your card.


CorelSCSI provides the following ASPI managers:

NOTE: To help distinguish between the revisions of the DPT
      ASPI managers, which both use the name DPTDDL.SYS, two
      different file names are used. However, the installation
      renames the selected ASPI manager to DPTDDL.SYS.

      The DPT ASPI for SCSI BIOS ROM\SMARTROM Version:

        * V.001.K is in the file DPTDDL1K.SYS
        * V.002.B is in the file DPTDDL2B.SYS

NOTE: For Future Domain TMC-850XXX and SCSI Board using TMC-950 SCSI
      controller, CAM Driver and ASPI Manager are not provided.
      Instead of CAM Driver and ASPI Manager, Future Domain CD-ROM
      Device Driver FDCD.SYS is installed.

To install an ASPI manager that isn't provided with CorelSCSI

1.  Copy the ASPI manager from the disk provided with your
    SCSI card to your hard drive.

2.  Add the device driver line to the CONFIG.SYS file using
    the following syntax:

      DEVICE=C:\xxxx.SYS

      where xxxx indicates the name of your ASPI manager.

3. Reboot the system before you start the CorelSCSI
   installation.

    While the system is rebooting, you should look for
    status messages from the ASPI manager. If the status
    indicates an unsuccessful installation, the CorelSCSI
    device driver won't function.


3.  Loading Corel's Device Drivers
---------------------------------------

During the installation, you're prompted to choose whether
to load the Corel CD-ROM and write-once/rewritable device
driver into high memory. If you choose this option and
not enough memory is available, the drivers won't load.

To correct this problem, edit the CONFIG.SYS file. For
each device driver command, replace the DEVICEHIGH
keyword with DEVICE.


4.  Using Memory Managers
-------------------------

If you're using a memory manager, you may need to uninstall
it before installing CorelSCSI and then reinstall the
memory manager. In rare cases, systems may hang if CorelSCSI
is installed while a memory manager is loaded.


5. Using PC-DOS with Corel's DOS Utilities
------------------------------------------

If you're using PC-DOS version 5.0/V in Kanji mode, you must
switch to US mode before using the CorelSCSI for  DOS
utilities; otherwise, the utilities won't run.

To switch to US mode, enter the following at the command
prompt:

    CHEV   US  /f


6. Using Future Domain Host Adapters
-------------------------------------

6.1 About Future Domain 8-bit Host Adapter
-------------------------------------------

The Future Domain SCSI CD-ROM device driver (FDCD.SYS) is to be 
used with Future Domain TMC-850XXX Board and SCSI Board using
TMC-950 SCSI Controller.

 Syntax:
    device=[drive:][path]FDCD.SYS /D:Device_Name


6.2 About Future Domain 16-bit Host Adapter
--------------------------------------------

Future Domain's Future/CAM manages all SCSI transactions on
the SCSI bus. All driver and application SCSI I/O requests
are eventually processed by Future/CAM.  Future/CAM drivers
are provided for each adapter type.

For 16-bit adapters, two versions of CAM are
provided: Singletasking and Multitasking. Singletasking CAM
issues requests to the SCSI bus, and does not disconnect.
This means that each transaction on the SCSI bus begins and
ends, and no outstanding requests are generated.

Multitasking CAM, on the other hand, allows disconnect/recon-
nect.  This means that while a device is busy fetching data,
it can disconnect from the SCSI bus.  This frees CPU time for
the system, thus optimizing CPU cycles.  In addition, while a
device is disconnected from the SCSI bus, other SCSI requests
can be issued to other SCSI devices on the bus.  The condition
of overlapped I/O where several outstanding requests may be in
process on the SCSI bus.


(TMC-18XX) Future/CAM 16-Bit Singletasking CAM
----------------------------------------------

By default Future/CAM negotatiates the fastest data transfer
possible for each device.  Although this works with all
SCSI 2 devices, some early SCSI 1 devices have problems
supporting speeds they negotiate at.  To solve this problem,
from the Custom Install for the 18XX CAM you can select the
Asynchronous data transfer option, which will force Future/CAM
to default to the lowest data transfer rate allowed.

 Syntax:
    device=[drive:][path]MCAM18XX.SYS [/A0] [/A1] [/A2] [/A3]

 Parameters:
    /An:   Set adapter n to Asynchronous negotiation


(TMC-18XX) Future/CAM 16-Bit Multitasking CAM
---------------------------------------------

By default Future/CAM negotatiates the fastest data
transfer possible for each device.  Although this works with
all SCSI 2 devices, some early SCSI 1 devices have problems
supporting speeds they negotiate at.  To solve this problem,
from the Custom Install for the 18XX CAM you can select the
Asynchronous data transfer option, which will force Future/CAM
to default to the lowest data transfer rate allowed.

 Syntax:
    device=[drive:][path]DCAM18XX.EXE [/A0] [/A1] [/A2] [/A3]

 Parameters:
    /An:  Set adapter n to Asynchronous negotiation.


Future Domain ASPI Manager
--------------------------

Future Domain's ASPI Manager is a driver that converts ASPI
requests to CAM requests.  This driver must be loaded in the
CONFIG.SYS file after any CAM drivers have been loaded.

 Syntax:
    device=[drive:][path]ASPIFCAM.SYS [/D] [/O]

 Parameters:
    /D:    enables disconnect/reconnect support
    /O:    enables overlapped I/O}

7. Using Alway AL-7000 ASPI Managers
-------------------------------------

If your SCSI CD-ROM drive doesn't support SCSI disconnects, you
can add a switch to the AL-7000 ASPI Manager to disable
SCSI disconnects:

    DEVICE=[path]AL7ASPI.SYS [/d]

    where
    [path] is the directory path to the device driver. For
    example, C:\DOS\.

    [/d] disables SCSI disconnects.

If you haven't attached any SCSI hard drives to the host
adapter, the ASPI driver displays the following message:

    Always Int 13 handler not loaded

This message indicates that no hard drives were found.

Load any caching software, such as SMARTDRIVE, VCACHE,
and PC-KWIK, after the ASPI driver. Caching software is
related to hard disk operation.

Don't use the BIOS diagnostics or low level format functions
when the ASPI driver is loaded.


8. Using the IBM ThinkPad SCSI Docking Stations
------------------------------------------------

IBM 3550 ThinkPad Docking Station ASPI Manager
----------------------------------------------
For the IBM 3550 ThinkPad Docking Station SCSI controller
to work with the CorelSCSI device drivers, a valid ASPI Manager
(ASPIIBM.SYS) must be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS.

IBM 3545 ThinkPad Docking Station ASPI Manager
----------------------------------------------
For the IBM 3545 ThinkPad Docking Station SCSI controller
to work with the Future Domain CD-ROM Device Driver FDCD.SYS.

 Syntax:
    device=[drive:][path]FDCD.SYS /D:Device_Name
