bootup. The simplest solution is to change your com-

puter’s parallel port hardware to LPT2 or LPT3, or

change your network redirection to a different port.

The MiniSCSI EPP Does Not Function

1 In the mode configuration switch /M

at the end

of the line device=[path]ma358.sys in your

config.sys

, set the value of

to 1.

The /M

switch must have both

and

values

specified. For example, enter /M70 (

must

be set to 0 if not being used). (See Device Driver

Options in the Software User Guide.)

Note: For non-Intel 386SL or 486SL based

computers, modify the value of

first. Set

the switch to /M08 to force EPP mode. Then

follow the tests in

through

. If you dis-

cover problems, modify the

value as

explained in steps 1 through 3.

After setting the switch, perform the tests below

to ensure the adapter is functioning properly:

a Perform a dir command on a hard disk drive

and/or a CD-ROM drive. Check if a problem

is evident, such as absurdly wrong numbers or

corrupted file names being reported.

b Try copying a large (greater than 100 KBytes, if

possible) file from the SCSI device to a non-

SCSI hard disk or floppy drive. Then use the

DOS comp command to compare the new

copy to the original file. Check if a problem is

evident, such as the file comparison failing.

c Copy a large file from your non-SCSI drive to

a SCSI rewritable device. Again, compare the

two files with the comp command. Check if a

problem is evident, such as the file compari-

son failing.

2 If your MiniSCSI EPP still does not function prop-

erly, repeat step 1 with other

values such as 2, 3,

4, 5, 6, and 7 until the adapter works. The idea is

to optimize performance by selecting the lowest
