6.6 SDMS Drivers
The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request
into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating
system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip
implementations.
We provide PCI SDMS device drivers for the following operating
systems:
• MS-DOS/Windows
• Windows 95/98
• Windows NT - 3.51 and above
• OS/2 4.x Warp
• SCO UNIX - Open Server 5.0.2 and above
• Novell NetWare - 3.12, 4.11 (NWPA)
Note: When you start the Windows NT installation with
either a CD-ROM boot or from the floppy disks, a
black screen will initially appear with the following
text at the top:
Setup is inspecting your computer’s
hardware configuration...
While this is on the screen (before entering the initial
blue screen), press the F6 key. Windows NT setup
will allow a SCSI driver to be added before the
second disk is requested. Add the appropriate driver
from a prepared floppy disk. Follow the rest of the
instructions to finish the installation.
