The following file will extract a readme type file detailing how
to install the PCI/SCSI adapter card while using either DOS,
OS/2, Windows NT, or Novell Netware.  To extract the executable
and define the appropriate subdirectories, type:  PCI-SCSI /x.


The version of each driver is as follows:

     - Novell .............. V2.15
     - ASPI ................ V1.40
     - Windows NT .......... V3.3
     - Windows 95 .......... V3.3
     - OS/2 ................ V3.11
     - Help file ........... V1.5
     - Install Program ..... V1.01
     - BIOS ................ V1.72

The Install program will be located in the DOS subdirectory that
is created when the files are extracted.  Change to that DOS
directory (not the C:\DOS directory where many users choose to
store their DOS files) and type INSTALL at the prompt.  Follow
the prompts and answer the questions to install the drivers
required.  Users may need to refer to the User's Guide.


UPDATING BIOS
Updating the BIOS is accomplished by using the included Flash
utility:
  1. Change directories if necessary so that you are in the same
     directory as the flashbio.bat file.
  2. Type: flashbio and press [Enter]
  3. Reboot your system
  
  Note:  On some systems the flash utility will hang if
         himem.sys is loaded (a flash update normally takes less
         than 10 seconds).  If this happens, reboot the system
         and press the <F5> key when the "Starting MS-DOS..."
         message appears so that the DOS boot will skip the
         config.sys and autoexec.bat files.  The flash utility
         should now execute without hanging.

WINDOWS 95
Updating a Windows 95 device driver (It will be located in the
win95 directory of the uncompressed tree structure.  The file name
is WD7296A.MPD):

1.   Run Windows 95.  Select the "My Computer" icon.

2.   Select the "Control Panel" icon.

3.   Select the "System" icon.

4.   Select "Device Manager" tab.

5.   Select the "SCSI Controllers" icon.

6.   Select "Western Digital WD7296A SCSI Host Adapter" by double
     clicking the left mouse button.

7.   Click on the "Driver" tab.

8.   Click on the "Change Driver" button.

9.   Click the "Have Disk..." button.

10.  Click the "Browse" button and locate the new WDSETUP.INF
     file that will be located in the directory where the
     PCI-SCSI.EXE file was uncompressed.

11.  When the file is selected click "OK."

12.  When the "Install From Disk" dialog box appears, click "OK."

13.  When the "Select Device" box appears, click "OK."

14.  When the "Western Digital WD7296A SCSI Host Adapter
     Properties" box appears, click "OK."

     Western Digital driver diskette.

15.  When the "Insert Disk" dialog box appears, click "OK."

16.  Click on the "Browse" button of the "Copying Files..." box.

17.  An "Open" box appears. Locate the new WD7296A.MPD file that
     will be located in the directory where the PCI-SCSI.EXE file was
     uncompressed, then click on "OK" in the "Open" dialog box.
     
     Note:  At this step it is important to locate the new file that
     was uncompressed and not an old or existing file that exists
     elsewhere.

18.  In the "Copying Files..." box, click "OK."
     
     The new driver is loaded and depending on the boot path the
     following may apply:

     -    On SCSI boot paths controlled by the new driver,
          Windows 95 prompts for a system reboot.  Choose "Yes"
          and wait for Windows 95 to reload.
     
     -    On non-SCSI boot paths, a few seconds elapse to
          initialize and activate the new driver.  From the
          "System Properties" window, choose "Close" and close or
          minimize the control panel window.

Your Drivers are now updated.
