IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A Description
The SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A provides an interface between an IBM PS/2 computer with Micro Channel
architecture and SCSI-1 or SCSI-2 devices. The SCSI-2 adapter supports two seperate fast/wide SCSI channels.
It supports data transfer rates up to 10 million bytes per second (Fast SCSI) for 8 bit SCSI devices that support
Fast SCSI. And, it supports data transfer rates of up to 20 million bytes per second (Fast/Wide SCSI) for 16 bit devices
that support Fast/Wide SCSI.
Some PS/2 computers have BIOS that does not support of the functions of the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide
Adapter/A. If you are installing the SCSI-2 adapter in a Model 8590 / 8595 then please see the following table:

If the Model 8590 / 8595 computer submodel byte code is not listed in the above
table, then the SCSI-2 adapter will work in the computer w/o any upgrade to the system programs.
If you have found the submodel byte code then refer to the following table to determine the next action.

Installing SCSI-2 Support Programs & Device Drivers
The SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A Support Diskette contains the Option Programs and
Device Drivers for the computer.
You must install the option programs from the Support Diskette, so that the computer will
recognize the new SCSI-2 adapter.
