* BusLogic DOS Manager Version 3.11 *
* *
*******************************************************************
There are four programs (BTDOSM.SYS, BTMDISK.SYS, BTCDROM.SYS,
BTFDISK.EXE), that support DOS Version 3.3x or above.
These programs can be applied to all of the BusLogic SCSI host adapters.
1) BTDOSM.SYS v3.11
BTDOSM.SYS is the BusLogic DOS Device Manager that supports ASPI (Advance
SCSI Programming Interface).
The DOS application program uses the ASPI DOS Manager to communicate
with the SCSI host adapter and to allow access to additional SCSI
devices connected to the host adapter:
- When the system is configured with more than two hard disk drives
- When the system has more than one SCSI host adapter installed
- When the configured SCSI hard disk has a Target ID other than 0 or 1
- When you want to support a SCSI tape device, and
- When you want to support programs that use virtual memory
(i.e., Microsoft Windows 3.1, Quarterdeck QEMM 386, Qualitas 386MAX).
Configuring the BTDOSM.SYS DOS Device Manager:
In order for the BusLogic ASPI DOS Manager files to be loaded whenever
the system is booted, the CONFIG.SYS file must contain the following
DEVICE=command. The format is as follows:
DEVICE = [path]BTDOSM.SYS [optional switches]
Example: CONFIG.SYS:
BUFFERS = 20
FILES = 20
DEVICE = C:\BTDOSM.SYS /p330 /p334 /d rem : first & second cards
DEVICE = C:\BTMDISK.SYS
COMMAND LINE OPTIONAL SWITCHES:
The following options are available at this time. You may add it
into the BTDOSM.SYS driver to change the parameters of the host adapter.
/p - Sets the I/O port address that the driver will use to
communicate with the host adapter. This value
is in HEX. Valid address are
330 (default), 334, 230, 234, 130,and 134
/d - This Option will display useful information about
the attached SCSI target device.
/l - This Option will enable support for SCSI logical
units(LUNs) other than zero. The driver can recognize
all eight possible SCSI LUNs on each target.
/n - Valid bus on time can be between 02 and 15 usecs. The
value is in decimal. Default time is 11 usecs.
/f - Valid bus off time can be between 01 and 64 usecs. The
value is in decimal. Default time is 4 usecs.
/i - This option will disable the loading of the embedded
INT 13 module. When specified, INT 13 calls are
routed through the host adapter BIOS instead of
INT 13 handler in BTDOSM.SYS (only for SCSI disks
installed with the host adapter BIOS).
/m - For NetWare 386 server installation from CDROM,
you must add this option to BusLogic DOS Device
Manager. During NetWare installation of BusLogic
(BT4X) from the parameter menu. You must HIDE the
CDROM Target-ID.
SCSI tartgets to hide from NetWare
Continue to complete the standard NetWare installation
2) BTMDISK.SYS V3.11
To access the SCSI hard disk devices that have a SCSI ID other
than 0 or 1, you must install this extented hard disk driver.
Otherwise, DOS cannot recognize them.
The CONFIG.SYS file must contain the DEVICE=command.
The format is as follows :
DEVICE = [path]BTMDISK.SYS
Example :
DEVICE = C:\BTDOSM.SYS /p330 /d
DEVICE = C:\BTMDISK.SYS
The BTMDISK.SYS Extented Hard Disk Driver can support more than one
BusLogic SCSI host adapter per system.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONAL SWITCHES:
/r<# of reserved logical drives> :
This determines the number of logical drives that will be reserved
for removable media. Valid value are 1 to 24. If not specified,
the default number of reserved logical drives is 1.
3) BTCDROM.SYS v3.11
BusLogic SCSI CD-ROM device driver is compatible with Microsoft
CD-ROM Extendtion v2.21. It required BTDOSM.SYS device driver
loaded first.
BusLogic SCSI CD-ROM device driver command line option switch:
DEVICE=[path]BTCDROM.SYS [/D:MSCDxxx] [/L]
Parameter: [path]
Specified the pathname where the BusLogic
CD-ROM Device Driver resides. (e.g.
C:\BLCD_ROM)
[/D:MSCDxxx]
Specifies the name that Microsoft CD-ROM Extended
(MSCDEX) use to find the CD-ROM Device Driver.
You will use this name in configuring your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
[/L] Enable SCSI Logical Unit Number (LUN) support.
If enable (LUN) option, you must enable (LUN)
support in BTDOSM.SYS device driver.
Example: BusLogic BTDOSM.SYS and BTCDROM.SYS device driver
in CONFIG.SYS file.
DEVICE = C:\BTDOSM.SYS /p330 /d
DEVICE = C:\BTCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD002
The Microsoft CD-ROM Extention "MSCDEX.EXE" utility is required
for DOS application to access the CD-ROM data files or sound.
Syntax: MSCDEXE [/D:device name] [/L:drive letter] [/M:value][/V][/E]
Parameter:
[/D:device name] Must be same as the name specifies on BTCDROM.SYS
command.
[/L:drive letter] Assign DOS drive letter for CD-ROM [e.g., E,F,G,..]
[/M:value] Number of sector buffers reseved for MSCDEX utility
Switches:
[/V] Display memory usage
[/E] Use expanded memory if available
Setup MSCDEX for DOS:
Assume "MSCDEX.EXE" utility is on drive C: root directory, Device
named for BusLogic BTCDROM.SYS device driver is "MSCD002", Drive
letter referent by DOS = E:, number of sector buffers use by MSCDEX
is 10, use Expanded memory if available, and display memory usage.
Method #1: Auto load MSCDEX.EXE utility at boot time.
You must add the following line to Autoexec.bat file
C:\MSCDEX /D:MSCD002 /L:E /M:10 /V /E
Method #2: Execute MSCDEX utility only when needed.
At DOS comand prompt type the following
C:\MSCDEX /D:MSCD002 /L:E /M:10 /V /E
Support CD-ROM drives :
1. SONY CDU-541, CDU-561, CDU-6211
2. CHINON CDS-431, CDX-431, CDS-535, CDX-535
3. TOSHIBA XM-3301B, XM-3401B
4. HITACHI CR-3750
5. TEXEL DM-3024, DM-5024
6. NEC CDR-38, CDR-73, CDR-74, CDR-83, CDR-84, CDR-741, CDR-841
7. PANASONIC CDR-532
8. IBM
9. PIONEER DRM-600, DRM-604
10. Other CD-ROM drives which support SCSI-2 command sets

3. TOSHIBA XM-3401B
4. TEXEL DM-5024
5. NEC CDR-38, CDR-741, CDR-841
4) BTFDISK.EXE v3.11
The BusLogic Extented Hard Disk can be used to partition the SCSI disk
devices, that has a SCSI ID of 0 through 7.
Used the standard DOS FDISK utility to partition a hard drive with
SCSI ID 0 or 1 attached to the first SCSI host adapter.
This program is very similar to FDISK.EXE in DOS; however, it only
supports SCSI hard disks, note that BTDOSM.SYS must be loaded first.
To invoke BTFDISK.EXE, type BTFDISK at the DOS prompt.
No optional switches are needed.

*********************************************************************
The following paragraphs describe the features and command line options
supported by BusLogic's Netware 3.11/3.12 and Netware 4.00/4.01
drivers - BT31X.DSK and BT4X.DSK respectively. The examples contained
in these paragraphs reference BT31X.DSK, our Netware 3.11/3.12 driver.
If you are in a Netware 4.00 or 4.01 environment, please substitute
BT4X.DSK wherever BT31X.DSK is referenced below. Also, please
substitute Netware 4.x wherever Netware 3.1x is referred to.
BusLogic's ASPI Support Manager, BTASPI.DSK, remains the same for
both the Netware 3.1x and Netware 4.x platforms.
NOTE!! Netware 4.00/4.01 contains a BusLogic device driver in the
Red Box shrinkwrap - BT40.DSK. The driver on this diskette - BT4X.DSK
is an update to that shrinkwrap driver. If you choose to use the update
driver, you should copy it ALONG WITH the file BT4X.DDI (located in the
same directory - NW4X - on the BusLogic Software Driver diskette) to
whatever disk directory the older BusLogic driver (BT40.DSK) resides in.
Note the name change: BT40.DSK changed to BT4X.DSK. You may also have
to change existing STARTUP.NCF files which reference the old file name
to reference the new driver. For new installations, you may install the
update driver directly by choosing the INSERT option from the INSTALL
menu when prompted for additional disk drivers - or you may install this
driver when installation is completed as described immediately above.
ALERT!!! If you are installing Netware 4.00/4.01 from CDROM, you MUST
use the EXCLUDE_IDS command line switch (described in detail below)
DURING Netware installation on the CDROM you are installing from!!
BusLogic's Netware 3.11/3.12 driver - BT31X.DSK,version 2.27 - and
BusLogic's Netware 4.00/4.01 driver - BT4X.DSK, version 1.27 - both
include support for SCSI-II Tagged Queuing.
BusLogic's Netware device drivers support BusLogics' ISA, EISA,
Microchannel, VESA (Local Bus), and PCI Bus SCSI host adapters.
BTASPI.DSK is BusLogics'ASPI Support Manager for Netware/386.
In addition to standard NetWare disk support, the drivers provide
the following features:
1) Removable device support (including fixed disk, MO, and CD-ROM)
2) ASPI support
3) NetWare ready support
4) Scatter/gather support
5) ISA host adapter support in a greater-than-16MByte-memory
environment.
ASPI support
------------
To use the BusLogic driver without ASPI support, simply load the BusLogic
driver BT31X.DSK:
load bt31x
To enable BusLogic ASPI support, load BT31X.DSK followed by a load of
of the BusLogic ASPI Support Manager BTASPI.DSK:
load bt31x
load btaspi
BTASPI.DSK may only be loaded once regardless of how many times you
load BT31X.
"Over16Meg" Switch
------------------
If you wish to run one or more ISA (BT-542B) BusLogic host adapters in a
system with more than 16 MBytes of memory, Then you must use the following
switch on the FIRST load of the BusLogic driver.
load bt31x Over16Meg
The presence or absence of this command line switch on subsequent loads
of the driver will be ignored.
When the "Over16Meg" switch is invoked, the following line should be
added to your STARTUP.NCF file to enlarge the pool of available buffers
below 16 MBytes:
set Reserved Buffers Below 16 Meg=200
"Exclude_IDs" Switch
--------------------
If you wish to exclude one or more Disk or CDROM SCSI devices from being
reported to Netware when they are found by the BusLogic driver, you may use
this option to do so. These devices can then be reserved for ASPI Netware
applications such as:
- Disk array software that needs to present several SCSI devices
as a single logical device to the operating system
- Third party software that controls CD-ROM devices through an ASPI
interface.
To specify which devices to hide on this host adapter, enter one or more
SCSI target ID separated by commas. For example, enter:
load bt31x Exclude_IDs = 1,2
This would hide SCSI target 1 and target 2 from the operating system.
*** Netware 3.11 only *** New SBackup Required
-----------------------------------------------
NOTE: Under Netware 3.11, to run Novell's SBackup, you must download
a later version from CompuServe. The version shipped with NetWare V3.11
looks specifically for Adaptec's Aspitran module and will not work with
any other ASPI manager such as BTASPI.DSK from BusLogic. To download the
new version, type "go novlib" in CompuServe. Then browse on keyword
"Sbackup" in file library 1 to find the appropriate file.
Note: This applies to Netware 3.11 ONLY. Other versions of Netware come
with BusLogic-compatible versions of SBackup.
"Enable_TQ" Switch
------------------
Tagged Queuing is an advanced SCSI-II feature which allows overlapped
commands to a SCSI device, thus enhancing performance. The BusLogic SCSI
Host Adapters provide support for this feature. However, many SCSI devices
do not, and both the host adapter and the SCSI device must support Tagged
Queuing in order to take advantage of this feature.
The BusLogic SCSI Disk Driver defaults to Tagged Queueing DISABLED for all
devices on all BusLogic Host Adapters. Use the ENABLE_TQ switch to enable
Tagged Queueing on a given BusLogic Host Adapter:
load bt31x Enable_TQ
This will only affect those SCSI devices connected to this Host Adapter
which also support Tagged Queueing. The maximum number of Tagged requests
outstanding is specified by MaxActive switch described below.
"MaxActive" Switch
------------------
This switch allows you to modify the maximum number of outstanding
requests per device allowed at any one time:
load bt31x MaxActive=2
Modification of this parameter will allow you to tune the driver for
maximum performance based on your specific configuration. Valid values are
1 through 60. If this switch is not specified, the default is value is 1.
If you specify the MaxActive switch in conjunction with the Enable_TQ switch,
the MaxActive switch will actually control the maximum number of Tagged Queue
requests outstanding:
load bt31x Enable_TQ MaxActive=4
If you specify the MaxActive switch without specifying the Enable_TQ switch,
the MaxActive switch will actually control the maximum number of non-tagged
requests outstanding (queued at the Host Adapter, rather than at the device,
level). In this case, best performance may be achieved by using the default
value.
For Disk Array applications, assignment of larger values to MaxActive may
result in optimal performance.
"LongTimeout" Switch
---------------
This switch allows you to increase the amount of time the driver's watchdog
timer routine will wait before attempting to abort a CCB which has not
finished. The default (if this switch is not invoked) is 10 seconds. If
the switch is invoked, the timeout value is increased to 60 seconds. Only
special hardware applications which anticipate long periods of time during
which a device may remain busy will find this switch useful. In general, it
should be ignored.
load bt31x LongTimeout
"No_Rescan" Switch
---------------
This switch should be used in conjunction with ASPI applications when
specifically recommended by the ASPI software vendor/supplier. Otherwise,
it should be IGNORED.
*** ASPI Developers *** :
This switch has the effect of causing the ASPI Get Device
Type SRB to return table-driven information about the devices detected
during an initial scan. Using the switch will inhibit the ASPI manager
from going back out on the SCSI bus to look for the specified device on
behalf of this SRB type. The absence of the switch causes the ASPI manager
to issue a SCSI inquiry on behalf the the specified device. Syntax is as
follows:
load bt31x no_rescan
"Verbose" Switch
---------------
This switch has the effect of enabling display information about
specific driver configuration options.
*******************************************************************
* *
* BusLogic SCSI Adapter Driver Ver. 1.30 for IBM OS/2 2.x *
* *
*******************************************************************
BusLogic's SCSI Adapter Driver BTSCSI.ADD Ver 1.20 runs under both IBM
OS/2 2.0 and IBM OS/2 2.1. Hereafter these two versions of OS/2 will be
referred to as OS/2 2.x.
Before installing the BusLogic OS/2 2.x SCSI Adapter Driver, you must fully
install OS/2 2.x. You are able to do this out of the box because IBM ships
a generic "Int 13" driver that will get you through the installation.
Once OS/2 is installed and you have rebooted OS/2 from the hard disk following
the installation, you can install the BusLogic driver using one of the two
following methods:
Method A - Automatic Method
---------------------------
1) Insert the BusLogic diskette in Drive A:. Either:
a) Choose the System Setup icon from the OS/2 Desktop, then
choose the Device Driver Install icon from the System
Setup icon view screen
or ..
b) Type DDINSTAL at the system prompt
(This will invoke the same icon as above).
2) Click on the Change button of the Source directory.
3) Select the OS22X directory and click on the Set button.
4) Click on the Install button, select the BusLogic driver, and then click
on OK.
The installation and modification to CONFIG.SYS will be performed
automatically.
Method B - Manual Method
------------------------
1) Copy the BusLogic files \OS22X\BTSCSI.ADD over to the \OS2 directory
on the C: boot drive.
2) Edit C:\CONFIG.SYS you can invoke E - the IBM OS/2 editor that is
automatically installed and after invoking the IBM OS/2 editor,
add the following line:
BASEDEV = BTSCSI.ADD
The system will find the driver in the \OS2 directory.
If you plan on using CDROM.SYS or OPTICAL.SYS from IBM,
you must also add the following line to C:\CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV = OS2SCSI.DMD
Once you have completed either method of driver installation, you must
reboot for changes to take effect.
BusLogic's OS/2 2.x Adapter Device Driver supports the following
command line switches:
/V - Verbose switch. This switch enables driver verbosity at
initialization time.
/A:x - Adapter identification switch. x is between 0 and 5 and identifies
the adapter being referenced. This switch is followed by
one of the switches below describing the enabling/disabling of
tagged queuing support.
/DM:xx
- DASD Manager Support switch. As defined by IBM, this switch
enables/disables support for this unit by the IBM-supplied
DASD Manager (OS2DASD.DMD).
/SM:xx
- SCSI Manager Support switch. As defined by IBM, this switch
enables/disables support for this unit by the IBM-supplied
SCSI Manager (OS2SCSI.DMD).
/BON:xx & /BOFF:xx
- Bus On / Bus Off switches. x is between 2 and 15 and specifies
the desired bus on/bus off time in microseconds.
Tagged queuing is an advanced SCSI-II feature that allows overlapped
commands to a SCSI device, this results in enhanced performance. While
BusLogic provides support for this important SCSI-II feature, not all
SCSI devices support tagged queuing. Both the host adapter and the
SCSI device must support tagged queuing to take advantage of this
feature.
BusLogic's OS/2 2.x SCSI Adapter Driver defaults to tagged queuing DISABLED
on all devices. For devices that support tagged queuing, the following
command line switches are provided to manage tagged queuing support:
/TQ - Enable tagged queuing support on ALL targets on the specified
host adapter (specified by the receding /A: switch) that supports
tagged queuing. If this switch is specified and the specified
host adapter supports tagged queuing (revision 3.30 firmware
and above), then tagged queuing is enabled.
/TQ: x,y,z,... - Enable tagged queuing support on a specified list of
SCSI targets. x,y,and z is a list of embedded SCSI targets
separated by commas. The Logical Unit Number (LUN) is presumed
to be 0.
/TQ: (a,b), (c,d), ... - Enable tagged queuing support on a specified list
of pairs of SCSI targets/LUNs in parenthesies. Each parenthesied
pair is separated by commas.
Examples:
1) BASEDEV = BTSCSI.ADD /A:0 /TQ
This example enables tagged queuing on host adapter 0 on all
targets that support it. Targets attached to host adapter 0
that do not support tagged queuing are not affected.
2) BASEDEV = BTSCSI.ADD /A:0 /TQ /A:1 /TQ
This example enables tagged queuing on all targets on host
adapters 0 and 1 that support it. Targets attached to host
adapters 0 and 1 that do not support tagged queuing are
not affected.
3) BASEDEV = BTSCSI.ADD /A:0 /TQ: 0,2,3 /A:2 /TQ: 0,1
This example enables tagged queuing on targets 0,2, and 3 on
host adapter 0 and on targets 0 and 1 on host adapter 2.
If any of the specified targets are not attached or do not
support tagged queuing, specification of those particular
devices is ignored.
4) BASEDEV = BTSCSI.ADD /A:0 /TQ: (0,0),(2,1)
This example enables tagged queuing on target 0 LUN 0 and
target 2 LUN 1 on host adapter 0. If any of the specified
target/LUN combinations are not attached or do not support
tagged queuing, specification of those particular devices
is ignored.

* BusLogic LADDR Support for IBM and MS OS/2 1.3 Ver. 1.20 *
* *
*******************************************************************
This installation note outlines the steps needed to install BusLogic's
OS/2 1.3 LADDR device driver under IBM OS/2 version 1.3. The installation
procedure will "ladderize" the IBM OS/2 system. Ladderizing replaces the
original IO subsystem on your OS/2 Install diskette or OS/2 installed
system with a LADDR IO subsystem.
The first section discusses installing the BusLogic driver at the
time of initial OS/2 1.3 installation. The following sections discuss
adding the BusLogic driver (and host adapter(s)) to an existing OS/2 1.3
system. In this case, (called a secondary installation) remember to:
*** Make a complete backup of your boot volume ***
before attempting to ladderize.
1) BusLogic SCSI Host Adapter as Intended Boot Adapter
This set of instructions assumes NO existing OS/2 1.3
system. It assumes you are doing an initial installation of
OS/2 1.3 onto a disk supported by a BusLogic SCSI host adapter.
o Backup (Diskcopy) the OS/2 installation disk - it
will be modified during this procedure.
o Boot the backup copy installation disk.
o At the first full screen when asked:
"Enter to continue Or Escape to Exit"
hit Escape.
o After the A:\ prompt appears, remove the installation disk.
o Insert the BusLogic SW-190 installation disk.
o Type:
A:
CD \OS213\IBM
o Determine the location of the ram disk created
by the IBM install disk in the following manner:
