-
- This device driver is distributed on an AS-IS basis to allow
- using the NCS SCSI host adapters with the Microsoft
- Windows NT operating system. This device driver allows
- connecting not only read-only devices such as CD-ROMs, but
- many other SCSI devices including those with writeable
- media. While NCS has made an attempt to verify the
- proper operation of the driver, the majority of the testing
- has been with Chinon's CDS-435 and CDS-535 series CD-ROM
- drives.
-
- The distribution disk is included:
- README.TXT
- NCS.SYS NCS-250-SC host adaptor NT mini port driver
- CDAUDIO.SYS IF You have CDS-435, you have to install this also.
- OEMSETUP.INF NT reads this file for setup.
- NCS Setup needs this files to start setup.
- TXTSETUP.OEM NT installation software reads this file
-
- Installation
- There are two ways to install the NCS SCSI host adapter
- "Miniport" device driver. If you are setting up Windows NT
- for the first time, you can include the NCS device driver
- during the intial text mode setup. If you already have
- Windows NT installed, you can use the Windows NT Setup
- application which is normally found in the Main program
- group of the Administrator.
-
- Text Mode (Initial) Setup
- To install the NCS device driver during the initial, text
- mode setup:
- 1. Use the Custom Setup option presented in the second
- screen of the setup process by entering C.
- 2. The setup program will scan for any of the standard host
- adapters supported.
- 3. You are then given the option to load device drivers from
- a device support disk from an adapter manufacturer.
- Select this option by pressing S.
- 4. Highlight:
- Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware
- manufacturer)
- in the list of SCSI Adapters, then press ENTER.
- 5. Insert the diskette containing the NCS.SYS device
- driver and associated setup files in the floppy drive you
- are using to begin the Windows NT installation process as
- prompted. Then press ENTER when ready.
- 6. Select:
- NCS-250-SC Host Adapter
- and then press ENTER again.
- 7. The device driver will be loaded. It will scan for any
- NCS host adapters installed on your ISA bus. If it
- detects one or more NCS SCSI adapters, NCS Host
- Adapter will be added to the list of SCSI Adapters in
- your computer and will be installed in Windows NT.
