This subdirectory contains Adaptec's AHA-1540/1542/1640/1740/1744 NetWare 386
v3.1 and NetWare 386 v3.11 SCSI disk modules and ASPI managers.  ALL of
Adaptec's NetWare 386 drivers have full support for standard SCSI disk drives,
"NetWare Ready" drives, and removable media disk drives (including optical
drives).

These drivers also all contain a built-in ASPI manager.  This allows for
other NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) to gain access to the host adapter.
Given the flexibility of ASPI, several companies are currently providing
server-based tape backup solutions through ASPI.  There are other ASPI
modules already developed or under development.  A programming specification
is available from Adaptec if you are interested in writing your own NetWare
386 ASPI module.

Below is a brief description of the NetWare 386 v3.1x drivers:

When you load the appropriate driver, NetWare will automatically load the
module ASPITRAN.DSK if it isn't already loaded.  If you are creating a
STARTUP.NCF file, you should load ASPITRAN.DSK before AHA1540.DSK,
AHA1640.DSK, or AHA1740.DSK.  An example STARTUP.NCF might look like:

:load [path] aspitran
:load [path] aha1540 port=330 [options]
:load [path] aha1540 port=334 [options]
:load [path] aha1740 slot=3   [options]

Please consult the user's manual for a description of the available command
line options.
