FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
**********************
Release 1.x of the OS/2 2.x device driver for the CSC FastCache 
PCMCIA SCSI-II controller is a fast, multi threaded, interrupt 
driven driver.  This driver supports CD-ROM, tape, and hard 
disk drives.   Other devices supported under OS/2 and under DOS 
windows in OS/2 through ASPI may be used with this driver.  The
driver is most easily loaded during a CD-ROM installation, but 
may also be loaded from floppy disk as described below.


RESTRICTIONS
************
The command line switch /D (for disconnect mode) will not operate 
with all SCSI devices.  This option should normally be left 
disabled unless several devices are connected to the SCSI bus and 
all connected devices fully support SCSI-II disconnect features.

Enabling Synchronous transfer (/SN) will severly degrade performance,
as the Asynchronous mode is faster on the FastCache PCMCIA hardware.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Installing OS/2 from CD-ROM via PCMCIA

	Read the file INSTALL.OS/2


2. Installing OS/2 FROM FLOPPIES

Complete the normal OS/2 installation from floppies as described 
in the IBM manuals.  This procedure will complete using the 
built-in OS/2 "Int-13" driver.

When the installation screen "Advanced Options" appears, select 
the check box for prompt for "Install device support diskette",
insert the FastCache PCMCIA OS/2 disk, and select OK.  This will 
automatically update the OS/2 installation to load the CSC 
PCMCIA OS/2 device driver.

3.  Installing the device driver to an existing OS/2 system

Select the Device Driver Install Icon in the System Setup Folder.  
The OS/2 device driver installation program will load.  Place the 
FastCache PCMCIA diskette in the floppy drive. Select the Install 
button to update the existing system.



DEVICE DRIVER OPTIONS
*********************
The CSCFCPC.ADD driver supports all standard OS/2 ADD SCSI command 
line parameters.  A description of these parameters is listed 
below.  You may view the OS/2 help file for SCSI command line 
parameters by clicking on the information Icon, and selecting the 
command reference.  Open the topic "OS/2 commands by name", and 
look up the BASEDEV command.  Select Adapter Device Driver 
parameters for more information on how to use these parameters as 
specified for CSCFCPC.ADD. 

The following BASEDEV parameters are supported, with
defaults shown in parentheses:

Verbose Mode:           (/V)    /!V 
Debug Mode:             /DEBUG /DEBUG:nnnn 
Adapter No:             /A:n 
Host ID:                /ID:nn    (7)
Port No:                /PORT:nnnn (auto)
IRQ No:                 /IRQ:nn   (auto)
Ignore Adapter:         /IGNORE
Target No:              /T:n 
Disconnect Mode:        /D /D:n (/!D) /!D:n 
Synchronous Mode:       /SN /SN:n (/!SN) /!SN:n 
SCSI-2 Mode:            (/SCSI2) /SCSI2:n /!SCSI2 /!SCSI2:n
