  The AdvanSys Windows NT 4.0 Driver supports AdvanSys Host Adapter Cards
  listed below.

  The WINDOWS.NT directory includes the following files. The latest
  versions of these files are contained on the AdvanSys FTP
  sites. If the date listed in the WINNT.TXT file is more than a few
  months old, please check the FTP site for a newer version of
  the driver.

  NOTE: The AdvanSys release diskette WINDOWS.NT directory contains
  only WINNT.TXT. All other WINDOWS.NT files listed below have been
  placed in the top directory of the release diskette. This allows the
  diskette to be used directly, as described below, to install the
  Windows NT driver.

  WINNT.TXT        Installation Instructions
  DISKW            Windows NT diskette identification file
  TXTSETUP.OEM     Windows NT desktop installation file
  OEMSETUP.INF     Windows NT new installation file
  ASC3550.SYS      AdvanSys Windows NT driver


  Creating the "Windows NT Installation" Diskettes
  ================================================

  Windows NT requires three installation diskettes as well as the
  AdvanSys driver diskette described below. If you do not have these
  three Windows NT installation diskettes they can be created from
  DOS using WINNT.EXE or from Windows NT using WINNT32.EXE. These
  commands can be found on the Windows NT installation CD.

      DOS:          WINNT.EXE /OX
      WINDOWS NT:   WINNT32.EXE /OX


  Creating the "Windows NT AdvanSys Driver" Diskette
  ==================================================

  NOTE: You can skip this step if you have the AdvanSys release
  diskette. It is already set up as a driver diskette to allow you
  to install the AdvanSys driver.

  To create a driver diskette for installing the AdvanSys Driver
  to a new or existing Windows NT system, copy all of the Windows NT
  release files (DISK1, TXTSETUP.OEM, OEMSETUP.INF, ASC3550.SYS) to the
  top directory of a DOS formatted floppy diskette. Label the diskette
  "Windows NT AdvanSys Driver" and also record the driver version number.


  New Windows NT Installation
  ===========================

  At the end of the diskette phase of a new Windows NT installation,
  you will be asked whether you want to: "Specify Additional Driver".
  Answer yes by selecting 'S' and list of drivers will be presented.
  From this list select "Other". When asked to enter a diskette, insert
  the "Windows NT AdvanSys Driver" diskette.

  After you find the AdvanSys driver on the diskette, select its name.
  The driver will then be loaded and will search for an AdvanSys Host
  Adapter Card installed in the system.

  If an AdvanSys SCSI adapter is found and the driver is successfully
  loaded, Windows NT will display a message indicating that the driver
  was loaded. After this message is displayed, press "Enter" to
  continue the installation.


  Existing Windows NT installation
  ================================

  Windows NT 4.0:

    1. Open the "My Computer" icon and then its "Control Panel" icon.

    2. From the "Control Panel" select the "SCSI Adapters" icon.

    3. Select the "Drivers" tab.

    4. From the "Install Driver" window, press the "Have Disk" button.

    4. When prompted, insert the "Windows NT AdvanSys Ultra2/ultra wide
       SCSI Windows NT Driver"
       The system must be rebooted for the driver installation to take
       effect.


  Determining the AdvanSys Driver Version
  =======================================

  To determine the version number of the AdvanSys Windows NT driver
  use the File Manager to look at the "Properties->Version" of the
  AdvanSys driver file \X\system32\drivers\asc3550.sys. X is the
  directory of the currently running Windows NT system. X is
  typically \WINNT.  The File Manager "View" options setting must be
  set to "All Files" to allow "asc3550.sys" to be visible in the directory
  "drivers".
