1. Product Outline 1-1 Using with Macintosh computers Connect the card drive to the SCSI port, the standard Macintosh interface. Use the enclosed MAC-PC Manager Lite driver software as an option to mount removable media such as PC cards. 1-2 Using with Windows 95 and IBM PC/AT compatible computers Connect the card drive to the Adaptec SCSI board. For Windows 3.1, use the Adaptec EZ-SCSI driver software provided with the SCSI board. ASPIDISK.
2. Accessories LO C K A C C ES S PO W ER The PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 package contains the following items: PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 8 Mac-PC Manager™ Lite ASPIDISK floppy disk Contains Mac-PC Manager Lite, a software driver for connection with a Macintosh computer. Contains ASPIDISK.SYS, a software driver for connection with an IBM/PC compatible computer.
3. Names of Parts Getting Started This drive unit consists of the following parts: FRONT PANEL 1 2 6 3 4 5 (1) Power Switch By sliding the switch back and forth from left to right, power is turned "on" and "off". (2) Power Indicator Lamp When power is on, light is green. (3) Access Indicator Lamp Indicates the access status of the PC card reader. When in a read/write state, the lamp is green (even if a PC card is not inserted in the slot, the lamp will blink occasionally) .
REAR PANEL 9 7 10 8 (7) Terminator Switch When this switch is "on", the terminator is active. When this is the last device on a SCSI chain, the switch should be set to "on" (for further details see section 4 on "Connecting with a Computer"). (8) SCSI connector SCSI cable is connected here (D-Sub25 pin). (9) AC adapter plug Plug in AC adapter here. 678 123 90 SCSI ID Switch SWITCH 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 SCSI ID 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 45 (10) SCSI ID switch Use this switch to set SCSI ID number.
4. Connecting with a Computer This drive unit connects to a computer through a SCSI cable. There are two types of connection depending on whether or not an additional SCSI device is to be used. These two cases are discussed in this section. Connecting Note: There are several physical forms of SCSI connectors. Check the SCSI connector of the computer and SCSI device to be connected and procure a proper SCSI cable.
NOTE: The cable included in this package is a D-Sub25 to 50-pin full-pitch, intended for use with most IBM PC/AT compatible computers. Macintosh users may require a D-Sub25 to D-Sub25 SCSI cable, available at most computer stores. 4-2 Using with other SCSI devices Since the SCSI standard supports connection to one computer and up to seven SCSI devices (including SCSI devices built into the computer), you can use several CD-10 card drives in series or can connect the CD-10 drive to other SCSI device(s).
4-3 Setting the SCSI ID Connecting The SCSI ID is a unique number assigned to each SCSI device. Therefore, two devices must not have the same ID number. The SCSI ID is independent of the order of physical device connection. Note that SCSI IDs may have been previously assigned to a disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or other built-in devices in the computer. To obtain this information, refer to the related computer and SCSI device manuals. Take care not to use the same ID number more than once.
than 3 may be assigned. The SCSI ID for the built-in hard disk drive and the computer cannot be changed. Also, notice the SCSI IDs for Macintosh computers range from 0 to 7, the numbers on the SCSI switch are 0 through 9. If 8 and 9 on the switch are selected, IDs 0 and 1 are assigned, respectively. For IBM PC/AT compatible computers SCSI IDs 0 and 1 may have been previously assigned to the builtin hard disk drive. Therefore, the values 2 through 6 are recommended as SCSI IDs for this drive unit.
5. Basic Operations Operating This section describes the operation relating to PC cards and PC card sets. SmartMedia SSFDC cards (like Minolta's Image Memory Card RM-2S and RM-4S) can be used in the CD-10 card drive when used with an adapter, such as the PC Card Adapter CA-1S. When used together, the adapter and SmartMedia card are called a PC card set. PC cards cannot be used if the software driver is not installed in the computer.
first and then the PC card icon appears on the monitor. This is the “mounted” state, which enables read and write operations for the PC card set. The time required between card insertion and mounting depends on the card. Usually, the PC card set can be mounted within several seconds. The lock indicator lights when the card is mounted PC card icon is displayed (3) If the PC card or SmartMedia card is not formatted, the following box appears. Do not click on "Initialize".
5-2 Removing the PC card set Make sure that the access indicator and lock indicator are not lit, then press the eject button to release the PC card set. access indicator lock indicator Operating When the access indicator is lit In this case, the data is being read or written. Wait until the operations complete; then remove the card set. Removing a PC card or PC card set during access operations will cause the data to be lost.
NOTE: The access indicator may flash on and off even after the eject operation. In this case, you can remove the PC card set. NOTE: Do not select the “Eject Disk” command from the “Special” menu to remove the card set. The CD-10 drive does not have an eject motor. The disk must be ejected manually. For IBM PC/AT compatible computers: The lock indicator does not light in most cases. Remove the PC card set when the access indicator is not lit.
6. Using with a Macintosh 6-1 Functions of Mac-PC Manager Lite Mac-PC Manager Lite is a software driver that automatically mounts Macintosh formatted and DOS (MS-DOS/V, PC-DOS/V) formatted PC cards and floppy disks. Mac-PC Manager Lite provides the following functions: Mac PC-Manager™ Lite - Automatically mounts the Macintoshformatted or DOS-formatted PC cards. - Links JPEG image files to Adobe PhotoDeluxe™.
6-2 Installation procedure for Mac-PC Manager Lite Mac-PC Manager Lite is an extension and therefore it must be copied into the extensions folder on the hard disk. System 7.1 or a later version is needed to run this extension. (1) Insert the floppy disk marked "Mac-PC Manager™ Lite". (2) Double click on the disk icon. The icon “Mac-PC Manager™ Lite” is displayed. Drag this Mac-PC Manager icon onto the system folder.
7. Using IBM PC/AT Compatible Computers Windows 95 The PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 connects with the Adaptec SCSI board. Windows 95 includes its own driver software, therefore it is not necessary to install additional driver software. However, when working in DOS mode, additional driver software is needed - please refer to the following section, "Windows 3.1 and DOS".
Windows 3.1 and DOS The PCMCIA Card Drive CD-10 connects to Adaptec’s SCSI board. It also uses Adaptec’s software driver EZ-SCSI. This section assumes that Adaptec’s SCSI board and EZSCSI software are installed. For installation of the SCSI board and EZ-SCSI, consult the manuals for those items. When connecting the CD-10 drive to the computer with EZ-SCSI installed, the EZ-SCSI software should be reinstalled after connection.
Note: The following SCSI boards and ASPI managers can be used by the CD-10 drive with IBM PC/AT compatible computers: ASPI Manager: SCSI board: ASPI2DOS.SYS AHA-1510A, AHA-1522A, APA-1460 ASPI4DOS.SYS AHA-1542CF ASP7DOS.SYS AHA-2742-AT, AHA-2840A ASPI8DOS.SYS AHA-2940 SCSI boards which use the AIC-7970 SCSI protocol chip in standard mode. The contents of the CONFIG.SYS file are as follows. Use this for your installation. (AHA-1542CF, EZ-SCSI V3.04, MS-DOS 6.20, and Windows 3.1) DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.
