Manual Installation Notes:

TAPEDISK requires a Virtual-86 Memory Manager such as HIMEM.SYS+EMM386.EXE,
QEMM, 386MAX, NETROOM or others.

The Virtual-86 Memory Manager must be instructed to enable the EMS Page Frame.

You must install the SCSI host adapter's ASPI manager.

You must load the TAPEDISK driver in an appropriate location in CONFIG.SYS.
(TAPEDISK can load as a TSR, or in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  But for most situations
it should load in CONFIG.SYS.)

TAPEDISK is a block structured device driver.  As such, DOS assigns it's
drive letter in relation to it's load order in CONFIG.SYS.  If you have disk
compression software you may be required to install the TAPEDISK driver
after the compression software.

Sample CONFIG.SYS

	DOS=HIGH, UMB
	FILES=60
	BUFFERS=20
	DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /d
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM D=64
	DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /d
	DEVICEHIGH=C:\TD631R2\TAPEDISK.EXE /ID=2
	...
	
Please see the User's Manual for complete examples on manual installation.
