    program from within the Main program group. Select Options from the Menu. 
    A pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu, choose Add/Remove SCSI

NOTES:
------

    Installing NT from a CD-ROM attached to the APA-1460:

    The APA-1460 PCMCIA host adapter is not supported at install time under  
    Windows NT 3.51. In order to perform a fresh install of Windows NT 3.51
    from a CD-ROM attached to the APA-1460, perform the following:
    1. Boot your computer to DOS.
    2. Install DOS Card and Socket Services, ASPI2DOS, ASPICD, and MSCDEX,
       as described in your APA-1460 User's Guide.
    3. Reboot your computer to DOS. You should have a drive letter
       assigned to your CD-ROM.
    4. Change to the \i386 directory on the Windows NT 3.51 CD-ROM.
    5. Type WINNT /B and hit <RETURN>
    6. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
    7. After installation is complete, follow Installation Using Windows NT
       Setup Program, described above, to enable PCMCIA support. 


    PCMCIA Limitations under Windows NT 3.51:

    - Windows NT does not currently support at install time PCMCIA based 
      hard drives and CD-ROMs (such as one attached to the APA-1460). In
      order to install Windows NT 3.51 from a CD-ROM attached to the 
      APA-1460, please follow the instructions listed under "Installing NT 
      from a CD-ROM attached to the APA-1460:."

    - Hot-plugging/swapping is not supported by Windows NT 3.51. The 
      APA-1460 card must be inserted and all devices powered on when 
      Windows NT boots up. Do not remove the APA-1460 while Windows NT is
      running.

    - The APA-1460 does not provide termination power to the SCSI bus, due
      to low power requirements of most portable computers. At least one
      device connected to the APA-1460 must provide termination power to 
      the SCSI bus (see your SCSI device documentation to find out if 
      termination power is provided, or how to enable it). Most SCSI-II 
      (newer) devices will provide termination power.
    
    
    Manually removing the APA-1460 driver:
    
    To manually remove the APA-1460 driver from your system, go to the
    ..\system32\drivers directory in your Windows NT 3.51 directory, and 
    delete sparrow.sys.
