SUMMARY

Columbia Data Products has Western Digital 7000 Fasst SCSI hard disk controller drivers that are compatible with Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1. The version of the SST driver for Windows is 3.36. This driver is available for a charge from Columbia Data Products. Version 3.3 through 3.35 of the SST drivers may work with Windows 3.0 and 3.1; however, Columbia Data Products does not guarantee the results.

To use Windows 3.0 and 3.1 with the Fasst SCSI hard drive controller, edit the CONFIG.SYS file to read as follows: 
   DEVICE=SSTBIO.SYS /W:1
   DEVICE=SSTDRIVE.SYS

MORE INFORMATION

According to Columbia Data Products, these drivers may not work correctly if they are loaded high. SMARTDrive version 4.0 (SMARTDRV.EXE) may cause the system to stop responding (hang) or lock up at system startup if the SCSI drivers are loaded high.
