Introduction - Create the boot disk - Revision history

 Introduction

Use the scsitool boot disk to troubleshoot or test your scsi devices in Dos. It will autodetect any supported PCI scsi adapter.

• The boot disk is based on MODBOOT, a very modular boot disk.
  
• You can easily add or remove (existing) Dos SCSI/ASPI drivers. Just copy/remove 1 driver plugin file.
  

 Create the boot disk

The steps are:

1. Follow the instructions in the MODBOOT page to create the basic MODBOOT diskette.
   
   
2. Download and copy the following files (don't unpack them) into the correct location on the floppy disk.
   
   The following files are required (you must copy these...):

3. Select SCSI adapter drivers from the list below (if you want you can just copy them all):
   
   Creat a directory called "a:\lib\aspi" !

Done!
