IBM OS/2 Installation
4
Copy the ibmint13.i13 and the aic7870.add files from the 7800
Family Manager Set diskette for OS/2 (i.e.,
\os2\aic7870\ ) onto
the
OS/2 diskette # 1.
5
Add the following line to the config.sys file on diskette #1:
basedev=aic7870.add
6
Run the OS/2 v2.1x installation program; follow the
instructions in your OS/2 documentation.
7
At the end of the installation process, follow the onscreen
instructions to remove the last OS/2 distribution diskette and
reboot the computer.
8
After the computer has restarted, OS/2 displays a welcome
screen. You have the option to view online information while
the OS/2 desktop is building. Allow OS/2 to finish building.
Note:
Refer to the readme.txt file for any additional
information on installing OS/2 v2.1x and the driver.
Installing OS/2 Warp 3.x, 4.x, and 4.x SMP
Follow these instructions only if you are installing OS/2 Warp 3.x,
4.x, and 4.x SMP for the first time. The instructions are the same for
these versions of OS/2, unless otherwise stated. We assume here
that OS/2 is not already installed on the system. You will need to
have access to a computer where you can copy DOS files from one
diskette to another.
Note:
To install the aic7870.add or aic78u2.add driver, it is
necessary to copy the driver from the Adaptec 7800 Family
Manager Set diskette for OS/2 on to the OS/2 installation
diskette #1. However, before you can copy the driver, you
must first remove various files from the OS/2 installation
diskette #1, as explained in step 2 below.
1
Go to a computer on which DOS, Windows, or OS/2 is already
installed. Use diskcopy to make backup copies of all IBM OS/2
and Adaptec-supplied diskettes. Use the backup copies as
your working diskettes.
