If I am running under Windows 95/98, do I need lines for the Adaptec Real Mode ASPI
drivers and mscdex.exe in my config.sys and autoexec.bat files?
Usually, you do not need to use these Real Mode ASPI drivers, because
the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI host adapters
and SCSI devices. However, you need to load the drivers (including
mscdex.exe
, if you have a CD-ROM drive) if any of the following is
true:
■
You are running in MS-DOS Mode and need to access your
CD-ROM drive.
■
You are using a scanner or another SCSI device with
config.sys
-
or
autoexec.bat
-based drivers, such as Hewlett Packard
sjiix.sys.
■
You have an older model SCSI-1 CD-ROM drive that
Windows 95/98 does not support.
■
You are using a CD-Recorder drive (however, some newer
models of CD-Recorder drives can use the embedded
Windows miniport drivers).
My CD-ROM drive doesn’t work properly under Windows 95/98.
Some older models of SCSI CD-ROM drives are not compatible with
the embedded Windows 95/98 CD-ROM driver. You can add
support for the CD-ROM drive by doing the following:
1
Make sure your ASPI Real Mode drivers (including
aspicd.sys,
aspi8dos.sys,
and
mscdex.exe
) are loaded and running from
your
config.sys
and
autoexec.bat
files. See Install CD-ROM
Drivers on a DOS Bootable Hard Disk on page 3-2
2
If Step 1 did not work, find the file named
cdtsd.vxd
in the
\windows\system\iosubsys
directory and rename it
cdtsd.sav
.
