WIN31.TXT - Installation instructions for Windows 3.1 and
            Windows 3.11

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For Windows 3.1 or 3.11 installation:

        File|Run|A:\SETUP
        
        Or launch A:\SETUP.EXE with File Manager

++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ MANNUAL INSTALLATION +
++++++++++++++++++++++++

We recommend that for manual installation that you install
TAPEDISK from DOS.  You can install TAPEDISK by hand from
Windows if you are comfortable with running multiple tasks
(File Manager, NotePad and other windows).  Installing from
Windows is not particularly hard but you may find the
automated DOS procedure easier to use.

To install under Window 3.1 you are required to perform one
test and add a few lines to CONFIG.SYS.

To facilitate installation have NotePad open on this document
and File Manager running.

The default directory for installation is C:\TD654. You can
change the location of installation but please modify the
following instructions to take into consideration the different
placement of the files.

After loading the files onto the hard drive. Use File Manager
to locate our utility SCANSCSI.EXE. Double click on SCANSCSI.

SCANSCSI will display the attached SCSI devices in a manner
similar to the following:

  SCANSCSI(V6.5.4)  (c) 1993, 1994, 1995 by TAPEDISK Corporation

  Press any key to continue.

(Don't press any key now, read on...)


You probably do not have as many tape drives on your system as we do!

From the report generated on -your- system locate your tape
drive.

If you do not see your tape drive then the possible problems
are:

	1) You do not have a SCSI/ATAPI tape drive.
	   Sorry, we only support SCSI drives at this time.
	   Press the return in the DOS-box then X the window.

	2) Your SCSI tape drive is not turned on.
	   Turn on the tape drive.
	   Press the return in the DOS-box and re-run SCANSCSI.

	3) Your SCSI host adapter is not recognized by Windows.
	   Press the return in the DOS-box.
	   Install the SCSI host adapter's Real Mode ASPI manager.
	   Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of your
	   SCSI host adapter.
	   Then resume the TAPEDISK installation at SCANSCSI.

When you can identify your tape drive with SCANSCSI you can
continue with these instructions.

In the SCANSCSI window locate the line that identifies your tape
drive.  On that line and under the column titled "HOST ADAP #"
will be the ASPI host adapter number for the SCSI host adapter for
your tape drive.  Likewise, under the column titled "SCSI ID" is
the ID number for the tape drive.  These two numbers are important
and will be used shortly.

What you need to do is to add two lines to your CONFIG.SYS. One
line installs the TAPEDISK device driver, and the other line
obtains cache memory for use by TAPEDISK.

The TAPEDISK device driver provides the translation services
from an MS-DOS block mode device to the TAPEDISK format.  Also
when installing the device driver the host adapter number and
SCSI id number is supplied to identify the tape drive. These
numbers are obtained from the SCANSCSI report.


++++++++++++++++++++++
+ To edit CONFIG.SYS +
++++++++++++++++++++++

Run NOTEPAD and edit c:\config.sys.

Edit the CONFIG.SYS file to contain information that looks
somewhat like the following example. If CONFIG.SYS does not exist
then create it to look like the following:

	DOS=HIGH
	DOS=UMB
	LASTDRIVE=Z
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
	DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 2500 RAM D=64
	rem place other disk drive support modules before
	rem TAPEDISK. e.g. ASPI manager and ASPIDISK drivers
	rem also 3rd party disk compression drivers.
	rem TAPEDISK can be placed last but you may obtain
	rem better memory utilization with different device
	rem driver ordering.
	rem ...
	rem ... your previous drivers go here
	rem ...
	rem then finally comes the two lines for TAPEDISK
	DEVICEHIGH=C:\TD654\TAPEDISK.EXE /HA=0 /ID=5 /ASK=Y
	INSTALL=C:\TD654\TDGETMEM.EXE D: /EMS=2500

You may find it easier to Copy and Paste the text from this
sample to CONFIG.SYS.

Note, the EMM386.EXE line must have RAM and must not have NOEMS
Depending on your SCSI host adapter you may or may not need the
D=64.  For now use it. Later on you can experiment with removal
of this option.

You can also use any other 3rd party memory manager that supports
EMS services under Windows.

In this example we specified that the driver can be loaded high
(DEVICEHIGH=). We specified the location of the driver (C:\TD654\)
and the device driver name (TAPEDISK.EXE).  The option switches
specify the host adapter number (/HA=0), the device id number
(/ID=5), and the option to instruct the driver to pause and ask
you if it is OK to install the driver.  The default response is
"Yes" install the driver.

Note. all option switches to TAPEDISK programs are specified with
"<space>/switch[=value]".  The leading <space> character is a
required part of the syntax.

Your tape drive may have a different host adapter number and/or
id number from example line listed above.  Please adjust 
accordingly.

The drive letter is assigned to TAPEDISK during load time. Since
TAPEDISK installs like a disk we have no control over drive
letter assignment other than by driver load ordering. Should you
add an additional hard drive or re-partition your hard drive you
will experience a similar condition.

If you only have a C: hard drive then the drive letter assigned
to the TAPEDISK driver will most likely be D:.  When the driver
installs the "/ASK=Y" will cause a pause in installation for 5
seconds.  During this pause you can inspect the screen for the
assigned drive letter and/or possible error message.  Later on
you can edit CONFIG.SYS and remove the " /ASK=Y" option.

The second line added to CONFIG.SYS was:

	INSTALL=C:\TD654\TDGETMEM.EXE D: /EMS=2500

The drive letter (D:) is to be replaced with your best guess of
what you think the next drive letter is.  The TAPEDISK driver is
loading as a block mode driver and will obtain it's drive letter
prior to your CD-ROM(s).  Therefor your CD-ROM may move up a
drive letter.  We recommend that if the CD-ROM moves (or hides
the TAPEDISK drive letter) that you move it permanently to a high
drive letter (e.g. X:).  Leave one or two drive letters available
after the CD-ROM drive letter(s) should you later decide to add
an additional CD-ROM.  Remember, TAPEDISK is being installed as a
hard disk and the assignment of the drive letters is made by the
DOS boot process and is beyond our control.

If you guessed the wrong drive letter the cache for the TAPEDISK
drive will not be allocated and you will not be able to load your
tapes.  Correct this drive letter should the assigned drive be
different from your guess.  Again, use NotePad to edit CONFIG.SYS.

Each time you change CONFIG.SYS you will be required to restart
your computer.

If you have problems with the new CONFIG.SYS you can single step the boot
process by pressing the F8 key (assuming you are running DOS 6.x) when the
initial booting Starting MS-DOS message appears.

+ EDITING AUTOEXEC.BAT +
++++++++++++++++++++++++

You may wish to add the directory of the TAPEDISK utilities to the
PATH statement.

                     Set switches on memory manager
                     to allow EMS.  Examine error
                     messages from memory manager
                     as to what the problem is.

Invalid for drive x: The drive letter for the TAPEDISK
                     is incorrect or the TAPEDISK driver
                     failed to load.

EMS not available.   Enable EMS memory on the memory
                     manager line in CONFIG.SYS.

                     little of EMS memory.  Add the
		     option " 2500" to the EMM386.EXE
		     in CONFIG.SYS.

++++++++++++++++
+ TAPEDISK GUI +
++++++++++++++++

The TAPEDISK graphical user interface (GUI) is designed to run on
Windows 95.  It does not run (well) on Windows 3.x. It is not
recommended to run the GUI on Windows 3.1x systems.  The GUI is
include in the distribution for you to use when you decide to
upgrade to Windows 95.  If you run the GUI on Windows 3.1x you will
notice that it does not keep it's window on top when performing
it's functions.  If you do not mind Alt-Tab'ing to bring the GUI
window to top you can obtain some functionality out of the GUI.


+++++++++++++++++
+ RULES FOR USE +
+++++++++++++++++

To use TAPEDISK there are a few fundamental rules to follow:

1) TAPEDISK is not like a floppy disk.  You cannot just
   insert a tape and there it is.  TAPEDISK tapes can
   hold several hundred different "disks".  Each being
   different versions of possibly different collections
   of disks.

2) Tapes that have never been used by TAPEDISK must be
   formatted. Formatting a TAPEDISK takes only a few seconds
   on a DAT drive and varies up to a few minutes for some
   slower drives we support.

4) Once a tape is in the drive and "Loaded" to a particular
   "disk" the tape drive is available for use by all other
   applications running on Windows.

5) To obtain the performance levels that we have, we perform
   substantial amount of caching.  If your tape drive does
   not have a door lock do not pull out or remove a tape
   that has been written to without issuing our TDUnload
   operation.
