   1.)  If running Windows 95, Windows NT, or Windows 3.1/3.11, insert the
        "Adaptec EZ-SCSI Setup Disk" into your floppy drive and run SETUP.EXE.
        Follow the instructions.

   2.)  If running DOS, insert the "Adaptec EZ-SCSI Setup Disk" into your
        floppy drive, change to your floppy's drive letter, and run
        INSTALL.BAT.  For example:

        C:\> A:
        A:\> INSTALL <Enter>

        Follow the instructions.

   When the Adaptec EZ-SCSI installation is complete, please select the

   NOTE:  If using Windows 3.1/3.11, the "EZ-SCSI Readme" file is too large
          for Notepad to handle.  If you would like to view the README.TXT
          file, that is installed to your EZ-SCSI directory, please use DOS
          EDIT or Microsoft Write.

WINDOWS 95 MINIPORT DRIVERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   What is a SCSI miniport?  A SCSI miniport is a device driver that controls
   your SCSI host adapter.  For example, if you are running Windows 95 with
   an Adaptec AHA-2940, the miniport driver you are using is named
   aic78xx.mpd.  In order to aid users of Adaptec SCSI host adapters, we've
   included several newer miniport drivers on this floppy.  These drivers
   are for Windows 95 only.

   The following miniports are located on this floppy:

     o  AIC78XX.MPD
     o  AHA154X.MPD
     o  SPARROW.MPD
     o  FD16_700.MPD

   When you run Setup from this floppy, Adaptec EZ-SCSI will determine if the
   miniport driver included on this disk is newer than what you already have
   installed on your system.  If it is, your installed miniport driver will
   be automatically updated with the newer version.

   If you would like to manually update your SCSI miniport driver with one
   listed above, simply run Setup from this floppy follow these steps:

   1.)  Run Device Manager.  You can do this by moving the mouse pointer
        over "My Computer," clicking the right mouse button, and selecting
        the "Properties" menu option.
   2.)  Select the "Device Manager" option.
   3.)  Expand the "SCSI controllers" tree to view your SCSI host adapter(s).
   4.)  Double-click on your SCSI host adapter.
   5.)  Select the "Driver" option.
   6.)  Select the "Change Driver..." option.
   7.)  Select the "Have Disk..." option.
   8.)  Enter your floppy drive letter (e.g. A:\) as the location to copy
        the manufacturer's files from.
   9.)  Insert the Adaptec EZ-SCSI Setup Disk into your floppy drive and
        click "OK."
   10.) Select the name of your host adapter and click "OK."
   11.) Click "OK" and the driver will be copied to your hard drive.
   12.) You must restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
        Click "Yes" to restart your computer.  Click "No" to return to the
        System Properties window.

   NOTE:  The miniports may be manually updated by simply copying them to
          your Windows' IOSUBSYS subdirectory.  For example:

          C:\>copy a:\*.mpd c:\windows\system\iosubsys

   If you purchased the CD-ROM version of Windows 95, additional SCSI
   miniport drivers are located in the \Drivers\Storage directory of your
   Windows 95 CD-ROM.

ASPI UNDER WINDOWS 95
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   Microsoft Windows 95 includes embedded support for the Advanced SCSI
   Programming Interface (ASPI).  This includes ASPI for DOS, ASPI for
   Win16 (WINASPI.DLL), and ASPI for Win32 (WNASPI32.DLL).

   When you install Adaptec EZ-SCSI, your ASPI layer will be upgraded with
   a new and improved version.
