  Copyright (c) 1995-1999 Advanced System Products, Inc.

  The AdvanSys UnixWare Universal Driver supports all AdvanSys
  SCSI Adapters listed below for Novell UnixWare 2.0, 2.01, and
  SCO UnixWare 2.1 Releases.

  The UNIXWARE directory includes the following files. The latest
  versions of these files are contained on the AdvanSys FTP site.
  If the date listed in the UNIXWARE.TXT file is more than a few
  months old, please check the FTP site for a newer version of
  the driver.

  To install the AdvanSys Universal Driver you will need to create
  a Boot Loadable Diskette containing the driver. You may create the
  diskette using either DOS or UnixWare. Decide which system to use
  and follow the directions below. After the diskette is created
  it can be used to add the driver during an UnixWare installation
  or used to add the driver to an existing UnixWare system. Directions
  for both of these installation options are contained below.


  Supported Adapters
  ==================

  The CDB counts below indicate the number of SCSI CDB (Command
  Descriptor Block) requests that can be stored in the RISC chip
  cache and board LRAM. A CDB is a single SCSI command. This value
  can be lowered in the BIOS by changing the 'Host Queue Size' adapter
  setting.

  Footnotes:
    1. This board has been shipped by HP with the 4020i CD-R drive.
       The board has no BIOS so it cannot control a boot device, but
       it can control any secondary SCSI device.
    2. This board has been sold by Iomega as the Jaz Jet PCI adapter.
    3. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i540 SpeedMaster.
    4. This board has been sold by SIIG as the i542 SpeedMaster.
    5. This board has been sold by SIIG as the Fast SCSI Pro PCI.


  Instructions for creating the ASC Universal Driver Diskette from DOS
  ====================================================================

  The file UNIXWARE.144 contains an image of UnixWare s5 file system.
  The image can be copied to a 3.5" diskette to make an ASC Universal Driver
  HBA Diskette.

  1. Insert a blank diskette in the 3.5" floppy disk drive and create
     the diskette by typing the following command while in the "Image"
     subdirectory.

          > unixfer UNIXWARE.144 a:

  To verify the contents of the diskette, Unixfer can also be run in
  reverse. The file UNIXWARE.144 should exactly match test.144. (You will
  have to copy the files to a temporary working directory first)

          > unixfer a: test.144
          > fc UNIXWARE.144 test.144


  Instructions for creating the ASC Universal Driver Diskette from UNIX
  =====================================================================

  The file unixbtld.Z is a compressed image of an UnixWare s5 file
  system. The image can be copied to a 3.5" diskette to make an ASC
  Universal Driver HBA Diskette.

  1. Copy the file unixbtld.Z from the AdvanSys DOS diskette containing
     the directory UNIXWARE to a UnixWare system.

          $ doscp a:/unixware/unixbtld.Z unixbtld.Z

  2. Uncompress the file unixbtld.Z with the following command in the
     same directory where the file is located.

          $ uncompress unixbtld.Z

  3. Insert a blank diskette in the 3.5" floppy disk drive and use
     "dd" to create the diskette with the following command.

          $ dd if=unixbtld of=/dev/rdsk/f0t bs=64k

  4. To verify the contents of the diskette run dd in reverse.
     The file unixbtld should exactly match test.dat.

          $ dd if=/dev/rdsk/f0t of=test.dat bs=64k
          $ cmp unixbtld test.dat


  Installing the ASC Driver during UnixWare Installation
  ===========================================================

  1. Insert the ASC HBA Driver Diskette when prompted to by the install
     procedure. The driver will be loaded into the live system and
     the install will proceed.


  Installing the ASC Driver after UnixWare has already been Installed
  ========================================================================

  1. Type the pkgadd command from the command line as the root user.

          pkgadd -d diskette1

  2. Install the AdvanSys HBA driver. The kernel will automatically
     be re-built to include the driver the next time the system is
     shutdown.


  Converting ASC driver to a loadable driver
  ==========================================

  The ASC UnixWare driver by default is installed as a static driver.
  If the driver is not needed for booting the system (it does not control
  the system boot disk) it may be changed to a loadable driver with the
  following commands:

  1. Edit the file /etc/conf/sdevice.d/asc and remove the line containing
     the word "static".

  2. Type "/etc/conf/bin/idbuild -M asc" to build the driver as a loadable
     module.

  3. Install the loadable module with the command "modadmin -l asc".


  Checking the Software and Hardware Configuration
  ================================================

  The ASC driver software and hardware configuration may be queried using
  the command "dcu". This command will list all the installed AdvanSys adapters
  and their hardware settings.


  Installing SCSI Devices under UnixWare
  ======================================

  SCSI devices will automatically be detected at boot time and
  device files for the devices will be created. This can also
  be done manually with the following commands:

    /etc/scsi/pdimkdev -if
    /etc/scsi/pdimkdtab -if

  The following commands can be used to set-up a SCSI disk. Do not
  run this command on the root disk or a disk that is already set-up.

    fdisk /dev/rdsk/cXbXtXdXs0
    disksetup -I /dev/rdsk/cXbXtXdXs0

  Here is a basic list of UnixWare device files:

    Disk Device Files: /dev/[r]dsk/c[0-9]b0t[0-7][ps][0-f]
    Tape Device Files: /dev/rmt/c[0-9]b0t[0-7]l[0-7]
    CD-ROM Device Files: /dev/[r]cdrom/c[0-9]b0t[0-7]l[0-7]
