BusLogic LADDR Support for IBM OS/2 1.3 --------------------------------------- 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. I. 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: Type: DIR X: where X is a drive letter ,starting with C and continuing with ascending drive letters (i.e., C,D,E,...) UNTIL the following message appears: SYS0015: The system cannot find the drive specified. The ram disk is the drive letter immediately BEFORE the current drive letter value. Examples: If DIR D: is the first drive letter to produce the error message above, then the ram disk is drive C:. If DIR E: is the first drive letter to produce the error message above, then the ram disk is drive D:. o For Microchannel installations, type: GO drive: MCA where drive is the ram disk drive letter identified in the step above. For ISA and EISA installations, type: GO drive: ISA where drive is the ram disk drive letter identified in the step above. o When prompted to, remove the BusLogic SW-190 install disk and insert the OS/2 installation disk. The OS/2 installation disk will now be modified. Use this modified installation diskette for the rest of the installation. o Reboot the machine. o Continue as instructed with the installation. o At the very end of the normal system installation, when the message "Remove the floppy from drive A:" appears, reinsert the modified installation diskette. o Reboot the machine. o At the first full screen when asked: "Enter to continue Or Escape to Exit" o hit Escape. o Type: HARD.cmd This program copies the proper files to the hard disk. Failure to complete this step will result in a TRAP when attempting to boot from the hard disk. o Ladderized Installation is now Complete ! Reboot the machine. II. BusLogic MCA SCSI host adapter as Secondary (non-boot) Device This set of instructions assume an existing OS/2 1.3 system to which you wish to add one or more BusLogic MicroChannel SCSI host adapters. WARNING!!! Back up the existing system before continuing to the next step! o Under OS/2, create an OS2 command window. o Insert the BusLogic 1.30 driver install disk in drive A: o Type: A: CD \OS213\IBM\IBM_130.MCA SECONDAR o Ladderized Installation is now Complete ! Reboot the machine. III. BusLogic ISA or EISA SCSI host adapter as Secondary (non-boot) Device This set of instructions assume an existing OS/2 1.3 system to which you wish to add one or more BusLogic ISA or EISA SCSI host adapters. WARNING!!! Back up the existing system before continuing to the next step! o Under OS/2, create an OS2 command window. o Insert the BusLogic 1.30 driver install disk in drive A: o Type: A: CD \OS213\IBM\IBM_130.ISA SECONDAR o Ladderized Installation is now Complete ! Reboot the machine. IV. Adding CDROM support o Install as described above. o Insert the BusLogic SW-190 install disk in drive A: o Type: MD C:\CDROM o Type: A: CD \OS213\IBM\CDROM COPY A:*.* C:\CDROM o Edit config.sys - Insert the following three lines starting at the first line of the file (or second line if the first line is "IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /cache:64"): IFS=C:\CDROM\CDFS.IFS DEVICE=C:\CDROM\STDCDROM.VSD DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDROM.TSD o Exit your editor and type: COPY C:\CDROM\UCDFS.DLL to C:\OS2\DLL
