No more frustrating "lock-ups" of your system as a result of conflicting resource settings. Automatic installation of peripherals The AHA-1530P host adapter senses the presence of peripheral devices, assigns unique SCSI addresses for each, self-terminates as necessary and indicates the termination status on screen. All the work is done for you. Support for popular SCSI applications SCSI Tape Backup, Photo CD Viewer and CD Player applications are included in the ReadySCSI kit. SCSI Tape Backup lets you select the volume, directory or file for backup with "point-and-click" simplicity using the Windows-based graphical directory tree. With the Photo CD Viewer application, you can view photographic images stored on CDs and edit them directly into your multimedia applications. The CD Player application lets you access and play CDs using Windows screen controls similar to those on your home stereo. Quick and easy installation With Adaptec EZ-SCSI software, installation of your AHA-1530P host adapter takes only minutes. Adaptec EZ-SCSI software determines what hardware is present and automatically modifies your system configuration files. Simply type install and follow the on-screen instructions. The SCSISelect configuration utility lets you manage your peripherals on screen without having to physically set jumpers or terminators. Plug and Play for Windows The ReadySCSI kit includes the Intel ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) which lets you install the AHA-1530P host adapter, with all of its ease-of-use features into the Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment.
