These Adaptec SCSI host adapters have been informally tested under Windows
3.0 and have been found to function correctly.
To work with Windows 3.0, these devices require an optional Adaptec
software package known as the Adaptec ASPI MS-DOS Manager. This package
contains the drivers ASPI4DOS.SYS and ASPIDISK.SYS, along with an
installation program. The package should be version 2.1 or later for
proper operation under Windows 3.0 enhanced mode.

is LDRIVE.SYS for MS-DOS versions 3.3 or earlier, and HDDEVICE.SYS for
MS-DOS versions 4.0 or later.
