JAN-01-1994 ************* 1. DOS Driver ************* WBIDE.EXE [Options] (A) The WBIDE.EXE is two in one exectional program: A DOS Device Driver and a Configuration Utility. 1) A Device Driver on DOS. To edit the line - DEVICE=[d:\path\]WBIDE.EXE [/S] [/L] [/C] into the CONFIG.SYS file, and reboot the DOS. [Note]: The WBIDE.EXE driver will detect automatically for the IDE disk configuration data: Xfer-bit & best multiple sector. Thoes parameters are used only when a trouble was encounted. The parameters, [/S] [/L] and [/C] are optional. [/S] parameter is selected to indicate the WBIDE.EXE does not use the "multiple sector read/write" functions to access all IDE disks. [/L] parameter is selected to indicate the WBIDE.EXE does use 16-bit data transfer between IDE disks and CPU. [/C] parameter is valid only when WBIDE BIOS was existed. It is selected to indicate the WBIDE.EXE to replace WBIDE BIOS functions. If WBIDE BIOS was present, the WBIDE.EXE will not work unless the parameter [/C] was specified. 2) A Configuration Utility on DOS. To run the WBIDE.EXE directly on the DOS prompt - d:\> [d:\path\]WBIDE.EXE (B) Functional Description: 1) WBIDE DOS Device Driver supports up to four IDE disks. Two are 1FXH I/O port address and another two are 17XH I/O port address. The IDE disks, where are attached into 17XH port connector, do not specify CYL/HD/SECT parameters in ROM BIOS SETUP. The WBIDE.EXE Device Driver will ask you to correct CYL/HD/SECT value to match the pre-setting in ROM BIOS SETUP, when the IDE disk was first time attached to WBIDE Device Driver on 17XH connector. 2) WBIDE Configuration Utility will show you the current configuration of IDE disks, and ease to modify the CYL/HD/SECT configuration. [Note]: The CYL/HD/SECT setup of WBIDE Device Driver was set only one time, when the IDE disk was first time attached. If a wrong CYL/HD/SECT value is set to WBIDE Device Driver, you need to execute WBIDE Configuration Utility on DOS to correct the value and reboot. (C) Histories of Release: ***) 1.00-04, 08-23-1993 First release. ***) 1.10-00, 10-26-1993 a.) To support [/C], [/L] and [/S] parameters. b.) To support up to four IDE disks. ***) 1.20-00, 11-25-1993 a.) To support setup function on device driver. b.) To support configuration utility. c.) To solve the disk number conflict with SCSI BIOS. ***) 1.21-00, 01-17-1994 a.) To solve INT 77H interrupt handler conflict with Artop SCSI BIOS. ************** 2. Windows 3.1 ************** There are six files in subdirectory WINDRV: SETUP.EXE SETUPKIT.DLL VBRUN200.DLL VER.DLL WWIDE310.386 README.TXT You should install Windows 3.1 first. And then execute SETUP.EXE in subdirectory WINDRV on DOS prompt, it will install Windows 3.1 driver WWIDE310.386 automatically. -OR- You can refer README.TXT in subdirectory WINDRV to install Windows 3.1 driver WWIDE310.386 by yourself. [NOTE] Before you execute Windows 3.1 with WWIDE310.386 Driver, the DOS device driver - WBIDE.EXE must be run first. ***************** 3. Netware driver ***************** (A) Netware V2.15 and V2.2 Label this diskette as DSK_DRV_003 and follow the installation procedure of Netware (B) Netware V3.1 and V3.11 At server prompt load NWIDE310 for V3.1 or load NWIDE311 for V3.11 then select the proper IO port and interrupt number option supportted /CS force master IDE drive to be single sector access /DS force slave IDE drive to be single sector access (C) Netware 4.00 Follow the Netware 4.00 installation procedure ******** 4. OS/2 ******** Refer to the OS2IDE2X.DOC in OS2 subdirectory for OS2 driver installation
