About Future Domain Host Adapters   
---------------------------------    
Future Domain's Future/CAM manages all SCSI transactions on the   
SCSI bus. All driver and application SCSI I/O requests are   
eventually processed by Future/CAM.     
   
For 8-bit and 16-bit adapters, two versions of CAM are provided:   
singletasking and multitasking. You should use multitasking CAM   
for Corel CD Creator.    
   
Multitasking CAM allows SCSI devices to disconnect/reconnect.   
This means that devices can disconnect from the SCSI bus while   
accessing data.  The disconnection makes CPU time available to   
the system, which optimizes CPU cycles.  In addition, while a   
device is disconnected from the SCSI bus, other SCSI requests can   
be issued to other SCSI devices on the bus.   
   
   
(TMC-950) Future/CAM 8-Bit Multitasking CAM   
-------------------------------------------   
Future Domain's 8-bit multitasking CAM provides CAM support   
for all 8-bit SCSI controller cards.   
   
 Syntax:   
    device=[drive:][path]DCAM950.EXE /Memory_address IRQ   
   
 Parameters:   
    For each adapter DCAM950.EXE must support, the memory    
    address and IRQ must be supplied on the command line.   
    Valid memory addresses include C800, CA00, CE00, DE00,    
    E800, and EC00.  Valid IRQs include 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12,   
    14, and 15.  Each 8-bit adapter must be installed with   
    it's own unique memory address and IRQ.   
   
   
(TMC-18XX) Future/CAM 16-Bit Multitasking CAM   
---------------------------------------------   
By default, Future/CAM negotiates the fastest data  transfer   
possible for each device.  Although this works with all SCSI 2   
devices, some early SCSI 1 devices have problems supporting   
speeds they negotiate at.  To solve this problem, from the Custom   
Install for the 18XX CAM you can select the Asynchronous data   
transfer option, which will force Future/CAM to default to the   
lowest data transfer rate allowed.   
   
 Syntax:   
    device=[drive:][path]DCAM18XX.EXE [/A0] [/A1] [/A2] [/A3]   
   
 Parameters:   
    /An:  Set adapter n to Asynchronous negotiation.   
   
   
About Future Domain's ASPI Manager   
----------------------------------   
Future Domain's ASPI manager is a driver that converts ASPI    
requests to CAM requests.  This driver must be loaded in the   
CONFIG.SYS file after any CAM drivers have been loaded.   
   
 Syntax:   
    device=[drive:][path]ASPIFCAM.SYS [/D] [/O]   
   
 Parameters:   
    /D:    enables disconnect/reconnect support   
    /O:    enables overlapped I/O}   
   
   
Using Always AL-7000 ASPI Managers   
---------------------------------   
If your SCSI CD-ROM drive doesn't support SCSI disconnects, you    
can add a switch to the AL-7000 ASPI Manager to disable   
SCSI disconnects:   
   
    DEVICE=[path]AL7ASPI.SYS [/d]   
   
    where   
    [path] is the directory path to the device driver. For   
    example, C:\DOS\.   
   
    [/d] disables SCSI disconnects.   
   
If you haven't attached any SCSI hard drives to the host adapter,   
the ASPI driver displays the following message:   
   
    Always Int 13 handler not loaded   
   
This message indicates that no hard drives were found.   
   
Load any caching software, such as SMARTDRIVE, VCACHE, and PC-  
KWIK, after the ASPI driver. Caching software is related to hard   
disk operation.   
   
Don't use the BIOS diagnostics or low level format functions when   
the ASPI driver is loaded.
