Adaptec 7800 Family Manager
Installing OS/2 v2.1x (Ultra SCSI Driver Only)
Follow these instructions only if you are installing OS/2 v2.1x for the first
time. 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
driver, it is necessary to copy
the driver from the 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.
2
Delete some of the existing files on the backup copy of the
OS/2 diskette #1 so that approximately 120 KBytes of disk space is
available on the diskette. Use the following information to help you
decide which files to delete:
– If the Adaptec 7800 Family host adapter is the only Adaptec host
adapter installed in your system, delete all Adaptec drivers
(
aha152x.add
,
aha154x.add
,
aha164x.add
,
aha174x.add
,
aic7770.add
, and
fd16_700.add
).
– If you have an Adaptec host adapter that is not part of the 7800
Family, delete all of the Adaptec drivers not used by that particular
host adapter. For example, if you have an Adaptec AHA-1540CP
host adapter installed in your computer, delete all Adaptec drivers
except for the
aha154x.add
driver.
– If you have deleted the suggested Adaptec drivers above, and you
still do not have approximately 120 KBytes of disk space available
on the diskette, delete these files:
ibm2flpy.add
,
ibm2adsk.add
,
and
ibm2scsi.add
.

Copy the
os2ldr
file from the 7800 Family Manager Set diskette for
OS/2 (i.e.,
\os2\aic7870\
) onto the OS/2 installation diskette.
