Using a CD-ROM Drive Command Line Options for spi8dos.sys (or aspi8u2.sys) Option /ccbs /d /L /mn /norst /pause /rst /s Example /ccbs8 /d /L /m1 /norst /pause /rst /s1 /s3 Use Specifies the maximum number of concurrent ASPI commands that can be supported. The valid range is 1 through 16. The default is 4. If you increase this value, the size of the ASPI manager also increases. Use this option only if you want to run an ASPI program that specifies a higher number of concurrent commands. Displays information about the AAA-131U2/133U2 and attached SCSI devices when the computer boots. Enables aspi8dos to recognize all eight possible LUNs associated with each SCSI ID. If the option is not used, aspi8dos can recognize only LUN 0 for each SCSI ID. Causes aspi8dos to scan the PCI bus. The method used to scan the bus is determined by the value of n: /mb = scan PCI bus using PCI BIOS calls /m1 = scan PCI bus using Mechanism #1 /m2 = scan PCI bus using Mechanism #2 aspi8dos automatically scans the PCI bus for SCSI devices. It tries to determine which scanning method will work best for the given system configuration. Use the /mb, /m1, and /m2 options only if you want to override the aspi8dos internal scanning mechanism. Usually aspi8dos can determine which scanning method is optimal for your system. (PCI BIOS calls are described in the PCI BIOS spec; scanning mechanisms #1 and #2 are described in the PCI spec. Prevents aspi8dos from resetting the SCSI bus when you boot your computer. By default, aspi8dos resets the SCSI bus when you boot the computer if the host adapter BIOS is not present. You can use /norst to prevent this from happening. Pauses the system after loading aspi8dos at bootup, so you can read the message on the screen. After you read the message, press any key to resume booting. Forces aspi8dos to reset the SCSI bus when you boot your computer. By default, aspi8dos does not reset the SCSI bus when you boot your computer if the host adapter BIOS is present. Indicates the slot number(s) where you want aspi8dos to look for host adapters. Valid slot numbers = 1 to 15. If you do not use this option, aspi8dos scans all slots for host adapters, beginning at slot 1. C-3
