After setting the option, perform the tests below
to ensure the adapter is functioning properly:
a Perform a dir command on a hard disk drive
and/or a CD-ROM drive. Check for problems,
such as absurdly wrong numbers or corrupted
file names being reported.
b Try copying a large file (greater than 100 KBytes,
if possible) from the SCSI device to a
non-SCSI hard disk or floppy drive. Then use
the DOS comp command to compare the new
copy to the original file. Check for problems,
such as the file comparison failing.
c Copy a large file from your non-SCSI drive to
a SCSI rewritable device. Again, compare the
two files with the comp command. Check for
problems, such as the file comparison failing.
2 If your MiniSCSI-2 still does not function prop-
erly, repeat step 1 with other
n
values (2 through 7)
until the adapter works. The idea is to optimize per-
formance by selecting the lowest
n
value that works
with your parallel port; typically the value of 2
works with most parallel ports with this problem.
Caution: If the MiniSCSI-2 still does not
work, it may not be compatible with your
parallel port. Contact Adaptec technical
support.
3 If you share the MiniSCSI-2 with other systems,
set up each system individually for proper perfor-
mance with the MiniSCSI-2. Be sure to follow the
instructions in steps 1 and 2.
