ULTRAPLEX 40X OPERATION MANUAL
Hardware icon and follow the instructions. This process will take some time,
but hopefully will find the files necessary to support your SCSI board. If not, it
is possible that Windows 95/98 does not have the necessary file available, or
that non-SCAM capable support was loaded even though you purchased a
SCAM capable controller. You may need to contact the manufacturer of the
SCSI controller to get the correct file. It is also possible that your older
controller simply does not have support available for Windows 95/98 and will
need to be replaced.
Plextor Provided SCSI Controller
• If the SCSI controller provided by Plextor is not supported by Windows
95/98, you will be prompted to insert a disk that includes the
appropriate file. At this point, you can insert the Plextor Manager disk,
point Windows 95/98 to the root directory, and it will automatically
select and install the proper file.
• If your Plextor provided SCSI controller is supported by Windows
95/98, it will automatically install non-SCAM capable 32-bit support
for your SCSI board. If your SCSI controller was not SCAM capable,
this would present no problem. However, since you purchased a
SCAM capable Plextor kit, you may experience problems. After the
installation is complete, copy the *. MPD file(s) from the Plextor disc
to the correct Windows 95/98 subdirectory using Windows Explorer or
the following DOS command:
COPY A:*.MPD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
The non-SCAM capable file originally installed will be overwritten.
Disable Plextor Manager
Our preliminary tests indicate that Plextor’s device driver will operate your
Plextor drive under Windows 95/98. However, our device driver is written in
16-bit code and has not been fully tested under Windows 95/98. In addition,
all the utilities (and more) available in 16-bit code Plextor Manager are also
available in 32-bit code Plextor Manager. Therefore, we recommend that you
disable the driver. If you choose to operate your Plextor drive under Windows
95/98 using the Plextor device driver and subsequently encounter any
problems, your first step should be to disable the driver. To disable Plextor’s
DOS/Windows driver, click on the Start button. From the pop-up menu select
Run. Type NOTEPAD C:\CONFIG.SYS. This allows you to edit the
CONFIG.SYS file using the notepad editor. Find the lines that refer to the ASPI
Manager (example: BTDOSM.SYS or ASPI4DOS.SYS) and device driver called
PLEXTOR.SYS. Type REM in front of each of those two lines. This disables
