If you are installing your Plextor drive in a non-SCAM capable environment
(your SCSI controller is not SCAM capable), refer to the Install Hardware of the
Non-SCAM Installation section on page 78.
Install Software
In order to use your Plextor drive under DOS or Windows 3.x to upgrade to
Windows 95, you must have a device driver to support it. If you just installed
a new SCSI controller that you did not purchase from us, you also need to load
what is called an “ASPI Manager” for your controller. Refer to your controller’s
documentation for instructions. If you purchased our kit, the ASPI Manager
will load as part of our CD-ROM device driver installation process. If you
purchased our kit, or successfully loaded the ASPI Manager, you are ready to
go. Insert the Plextor Manager disk into your floppy drive. Then enter the
following DOS command to install the Plextor device driver:
A:\INSTALL
Or, from your Program Manager in Windows, choose File and Run, and enter
the following on the command line:
A:\INSTALL
Install Windows 95/98
Insert your Windows 95/98 CD into your new Plextor CD-ROM drive and
follow Microsoft’s instructions for upgrading. During the installation process,
Windows 95/98 will attempt to find and install support for your SCSI
controller, resulting in the following scenarios:
Separately Purchased SCSI Controller
• If you have a previously purchased and installed SCSI controller that
is supported by Windows 95/98, support will be loaded automatically.
• If your previously purchased SCSI controller is not supported by
Windows 95/98, you will be prompted to insert a disk that includes
the appropriate file. That disk should have been provided with the
controller.
If you have a separately purchased SCSI board installed, we cannot guarantee
support will be available on Windows 95/98. After the upgrade finishes, you
can check to see if Windows recognizes your SCSI controller by selecting My
Computer. If a CD-ROM drive icon is shown in this Window, everything
should be functioning properly. If not, then support for your SCSI controller did
not load properly (Windows 95/98 can’t look “through” your controller to see
your drive). Select Control Panel and then double-click the Add New
