Chapter 5 SCSI Drive Installation 65
Description
ASPICAM.SYS is an ASPI manager which provides an interface
to popular ASPI applications. Because ASPICAM.SYS communi-
cates with the SCSI BIOS only through MINICAM.SYS or
DOSCAM.SYS. It must be loaded (after either MINICAM.SYS or
DOSCAM.SYS) whenever running an ASPI application. Some of
the ASPI applications supported under DOS include CorelSCSI!,
Sytos Plus, and Central Point Tape Backup. These provide support
for tape, WORM, scanner, and other SCSI peripherals.
Installation
1. Use the COPY command to copy the ASPICAM.SYS driver
from the SDMS SCSI Drivers disk to your boot disk.
2. Add ASPICAM.SYS to your system’s CONFIG.SYS file after
MINICAM.SYS or DOSCAM.SYS. For example, the lines in
your CONFIG.SYS file might look like this:
DEVICE=C:<PATH>DOSCAM.SYS
DEVICE=C:<PATH>ASPlCAM.SYS
Command Line Options
There are no command line options with ASPICAM.SYS.
Troubleshooting
• SYSTEM LOCKS UP AT BOOTTIME.
a. Make sure no other ASPI manager is loaded.
b. Check for correct loading sequence in the CONFIG.SYS file.
c. Boot the system.
• THE DEVICE DRIVER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ONE OF
THE NON-BOOT SCSI PERIPHERALS (system may lock up).
a. Make sure the drivers were installed in the correct sequence.
b. Make sure the drivers’ CONFIG.SYS line has the correct
path to the drivers.
c. Power down all units in the system.
