  The AdvanSys Solaris Universal Driver (ASC) supports all AdvanSys
  SCSI Adapters listed below for Solaris 2.5 and 2.5.1. Earlier versions
  of Solaris are not supported.
  
  The SOLARIS directory only contain this file. The latest
  versions of these files are contained on the AdvanSys FTP and BBS sites.
  If the date listed in the SOLARIS.TXT file is more than a few months old,
  please check the FTP or BBS site for a newer version of the driver.

  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. These boards have been shipped by HP with the 4020i CD-R drive.
       They have no BIOS so they cannot control a boot device, but they
       can control secondary devices.

    2. This board has been shipped by Iomega with the Jaz Jet drive.
  

  Instructions for creating the ASC Universal Driver Diskettes using DOS
  ======================================================================

  The file SOLARIS.EXE is a self-extracting archive which contains images
  of three Solaris 1.44 MB diskettes. The first two images are for DOS FAT
  diskettes and the third image contains a cpio archive. The three diskette
  images must be copied to 3.5" diskettes to run a Solaris install. If you
  intend to install the ASC driver to an existing Solaris 2.5 system then
  only the third diskette is needed.

  1. Copy the file SOLARIS.EXE to a DOS system.

  2. Type the command SOLARIS.EXE. The following four files will be created:

    BOOT1.DAT    First Stage Boot Floppy with AdvanSys Realmode ASC.BEF Driver
    BOOT2.DAT    Second Stage Boot Floppy with AdvanSys Native ASC Driver
    DRVUPD.DAT   Solaris Driver Update Image with AdvanSys Native ASC Driver
    RAWRITE.EXE  DOS Executable to transfer file images to a diskette

  3. For each image insert a blank formatted diskette in a 3.5" floppy disk
     drive and create the diskettes with these commands. Label the diskettes
     ASC BOOT1, ASC BOOT2, and ASC Driver Update.

          <Insert ASC BOOT1>
          RAWRITE BOOT1.DAT A:

          <Insert ASC BOOT2>
          RAWRITE BOOT2.DAT A:

          <Insert ASC Driver Update>
          RAWRITE DRVUPD.DAT A:


  Installing the ASC Driver during Solaris Installation
  =====================================================

  You must use install Solaris 2.5 x86 Edition in combination with the
  AdvanSys driver.

  1. Insert the Solaris 2.5 x86 Edition Installation CD into a CD-ROM
     and insert the ASC BOOT1 diskette into the first floppy drive.

  2. The system should boot off the floppy. The AdvanSys Realmode driver
     ASC.BEF driver will recognize the installed AdvanSys adapter and
     the boot procedure will indicate that ASC.BEF has been loaded.

  3. Later during the install procedure you will prompted to install
     the second boot diskette (ASC BOOT2) and then the Driver Update
     diskette (ASC Driver Update).

  4. The installation procedure will automatically add the AdvanSys
     driver to the installed system. There is no need to re-add the
     driver after the installation has completed.


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

  You must already have installed Solaris 2.5 x86 Edition.

  1. Boot the Solaris system and login as root.

  2. Insert the ASC Driver Update diskette in the first floppy disk drive.

  3. Type the following commands to extract the Driver Update image to
     the directory /tmp/drivers. If the directory already exists use a
     different name.

     mkdir /tmp/drivers;
     cd /tmp/drivers;
     cpio -idumv < /dev/diskette0

  4. Run the driver update shell script. This command will apply the
     latest driver update and then install the ASC driver. This command
     may take as long as 30 minutes to run:

     ./installdu.sh

  5. Reboot your Solaris system and use the boot command 'b -r' at the
     boot prompt to reconfigure the system. The '-r' option will cause
     the /devices and /dev directories to be rebuilt.

  
  Installing SCSI Devices under Solaris
  =====================================

  SCSI Disk and CD-ROM devices are controlled by the same target driver
  cmdk(7d). Device files are of the form:
     
     /dev/[r]dsk/c[0-9]t[0-7]d[0-9]s[0-f]
  
  SCSI Tape drives are controlled by st(7d). Device files are of the form:

     /dev/[n]rmt/[0-9]

  If you add or remove a SCSI device reboot your Solaris system and use
  the boot command 'b -r' at the boot prompt to reconfigure the system.
  This will cause the /devices and /dev directories to be rebuilt.
