Features

The DOS Configuration Utility supports these features:

  • Configures all DOS drivers
  • Works for all LSI53C8XX PCI host adapters

  • Provides a graphical user interface (GUI)
  • Provides on-line Help

Description

This utility provides a user-friendly way to configure any of the DOS-based drivers in the CONFIG.SYS and SYSTEM.INI files. It assumes the LSI Logic SCSI drivers are already installed. The LSI Logic ASPI driver(ASPI8XX.SYS) driver must be present and loaded for this utility to run. On-line help is available at each step for each screen you encounter. You may press F1 at any time for a list of all the help available.

Running the DOS Configuration Utility

To run this utility, several files are required:

  • CONFIG.EXE
  • CONFIG.DAT
  • 8BITBUS.PCX
  • 16BITBUS.PCX
  • ADAPTERS.PCX
  • LUNVIEW.PCX
  • TILE.PCX
  • VIEWIT.PCX
  • ASPI8XX.SYS*

*The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the ASPI8XX.SYS driver at this location:

{CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\DOS

If ASPI8XX.SYS already exists on your system and is pointed to by the driver line in your CONFIG.SYS, you do not need it in the same directory as CONFIG.EXE. It is included on this SDMS CD-ROM in case an installation of the driver has not yet taken place. Refer to the ASPI8XX.SYS Installation Instructions to install the ASPI8XX.SYS driver.

The recommended minimum memory requirement for this utility is 2 Mbytes. You need at least 500 Kbytes of conventional DOS memory, and the remainder in extended memory.
