ULTRAPLEX 40X OPERATION MANUAL
4) Finally, it is possible that your previously or separately purchased
SCAM capable controller is not being supported properly by
Windows 95/98. If you used the Windows 95/98 disk or CD to get
support for the controller, it may not have existed, or it may have
loaded a non-SCAM capable version of the file. If the file did not
exist, you will have to contact the SCSI controller manufacturer to
obtain the necessary file (you might first look through your own stack
of disks one more time). Once you have the correct file, you can then
use the Windows 95/98 Add New Hardware Wizard to load it. If
Windows 95/98 did load a file during the configuration process, and
you have another SCSI device besides your Plextor drive, then you
probably have a conflict with your SCSI IDs. In other words,
Windows 95/98 loaded a non-SCAM capable support file. The quick
fix here is to leap out of the Plug and Play environment and reset the
SCSI ID on one of your devices per the previous paragraph.
Alternatively, you can find or obtain the SCAM capable file from the
manufacturer of your SCSI controller. You will then need to copy that
file to a Windows 95/98 subdirectory using Windows Explorer or the
following DOS command:
COPY A:\FILENAME.EXT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
The SCSI controller documentation should tell you which file to copy.
If not, you should contact the Technical Support department of the
SCSI controller manufacturer. If you cannot reach them, or they
cannot help you, contact Plextor’s Technical Support Department.
Non-SCAM Installation
Install Hardware
Refer to Chapter 8 for instructions on installing your SCSI controller, cabling,
and CD-ROM drive. If your non-PCI controller has Plug and Play features, but
your computer system is not supporting Plug and Play, you will need to disable
the Plug and Play capabilities on your SCSI controller. Review the controller’s
documentation (check the Quick Start Guide or similar document first) to
determine the location of the disable switch.
Since your SCSI board is not Plug and Play and SCAM capable, you will have
to ensure that all peripheral devices attached to the controller have unique
SCSI IDs. (Review Chapter 6, on SCSI IDs.) Make sure that all peripheral SCSI
devices connected to the controller board are physically set to unique ID num-
bers (using switches or jumpers).
You should familiarize yourself with Chapter 7: Termination. However, the
