BusLogic MultiMaster SCSI Host Adapter Driver For Microsoft Windows 95 Version 4.02 I. Introduction =============== This README file contains compressed installation instruction and notes on configuring tunable paramenters for the BusLogic MultiMaster Windows 95 device driver. For more detailed installation instruction and other information, please refer to the manual included with the software package. II. Installation ================ Windows 95 comes bundled with the BusLogic MultiMaster Miniport driver, which you can use for installation. Follow the procedure outlined in the Windows 95 Installation Guide to do your installation. This installation procedure describes the steps involved in upgrading that driver to the one on the Software Drivers diskette. 1. At the Win95 Desktop, double-click on My Computer, Control Panel, and System icons, in that order. 2. Click the Device Manager button. Once in the Device Manager, select SCSI Controller, then BusLogic MultiMaster SCSI Host Adapter. 3. Insert the Software Drivers diskette into drive A:, highlight BusLogic MultiMaster SCSI Host Adapter, and click on Properties, Driver, Change Driver, and Have Disk. 4. Enter "A:\WIN95" at the target source prompt and continue with the driver update. 5. Exit out of the System program and reboot Win95. Upgrade to the new MultiMaster driver is complete. III. Configuring Tunable Parameters ===================================== The following tunable (user-configurable) parameters are supported: LogUnderruns - Parameter to control the logging/suppressing of underrun and overrun error logging. This parameter only affects what shows up in the event log -- it does not stop the driver from reporting all underrun and overrun errors to the operating system itself. MaxQueueTags - Parameter to control the maximum queue tag depth on tagged queuing devices attached to a given adapter. The driver defaults to a tag queue depth of 8. Valid values are 1 to 60. To modify a tunable parameter under Windows 95, invoke the Windows 95 Device Manager as follows: 1. From the Control Panel, choose Settings, then click on the System icon. 2. Click on the Device Manager button. 3. Click on SCSI Controllers. 4. Click on BusLogic MultiMaster SCSI Host Adapters. 5. Click on the Settings button. 6. At the Adapter Settings prompt, type in the tunable parameter (multiple parameters must be separated by a semicolon). Example: To specify a maximum tag queue depth, where xx is a value between 1 and 60 inclusive, type: MaxQueueTags=xx Example: To suppress logging of overrun/underrun errors, type: LogUnderruns=0 --- Version: $Id: readme.txt 1.2 1996/02/29 18:02:18 awin Exp $
