SDMS SCSI Tools for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT is a software support utility
that provides a mechanism for examining host adapters and SCSI devices within
the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT environments. This utility requires ASPI
support, which is bundled with the Windows 95/98 operating system. You will
need to install ASPI support for Windows NT.

Note:  For Windows NT users only:

       If your system already has NT ASPI, go to the installation instructions 
       for SCSI Tools for Windows NT. Otherwise, the NT ASPI utility must be
       installed first before installing this SCSI Tools package. See the 
       instructions below for installing NT ASPI. Please also refer to the 
       documentation for NT ASPI.
