Follow the instructions in your OS/2 documentation to
complete the installation.
Note:
The update files os2ldr and ibmint13.i13 included with
the Adaptec 7800 Family Manager Set are not needed when
installing OS/2 Warp.
After installation is complete, verify that only one
basedev=aic7870.add statement exists in the
config.sys file
on your hard drive. Remove other instances if more than
one is found.
Installing the Driver When OS/2 is Already
Installed
To update or install the aic7870.add or aic78u2.add driver if OS/2 is
already installed, follow the instructions below. The procedures are
similar for all versions of OS/2. Procedures that are specific to an
OS/2 version are noted when necessary.

If you are updating the driver, simply copy the aic7870.add or
aic78u2.add driver from the 7800 Family Manager Set diskette
for OS/2 (e.g.,
\os2\aic7870.add or \os2\aic78u2.add ) into the
\os2 directory (for OS/2 v2.1x) or \os2\boot directory (for OS/2
Warp 3.x, 4.x, or 4.x SMP) on your hard disk. (Make a backup
copy of the older driver before doing this.) This overwrites any
existing version of the driver in the directory. Updating of the
driver is complete; do not continue with Steps 3 through 5.
Note:
The aic78u2.add driver does not support OS/2
v2.1x
If OS/2 has been installed and does not recognize the Adaptec
