Softpaq Solution: SP1027
File Name: SCSI.INF
Title:   SCSI.INF problems with MicroSoft NT 3.1 for SmartStart (Nov rel)
_______________________________________________________________________

CATEGORY:  Software

EFFECTIVITY DATE:  11/01/94

PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq Server products using SmartStart (Nov rel.) for
Windows NT 3.1 with both the C710 and C810 controllers installed.

OPERATING SYSTEM:  MS-DOS 3.3 or higher, MS Windows NT 3.1.

DESCRIPTION:  This Softpaq will allow you to install the drivers for both 
of these controller cards.

When installing Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 from Compaq CD
(November 1994 SmartStart) on a system that has both the
C710 and the C810 controller card installed the drivers for
these cards do not install properly.

SOLUTION:

1. Hand patch the SCSI.INF (located in the winnt\system32 directory)
   as follows:

   In the following line the 5 needs to be changed to 30:

   [MiniportDriverrs]
		.
		.
		.
   cpqc810 = !SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER, "SCSI Miniport",!SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL,
   5,%SystemRoot%\System32\IoLogMsg.dll, 7

   The line:

   [OptionsTextENG]
   "CPQC810" = "Compaq 32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controller"

   needs to be:

	     [OptionsTextENG]
	     "CPQC810" = "Compaq Integrated 32-Bit Fast-SCSI-2 Controller/P"
     
2. Use SP1027.exe.  This consists of a group of xxxxSCSI.yyy files
   (where xxxx = SRVR or CLNT and yyy = ENG,FRN,ITA,GER,SPA,JPN) which 
   can be copied over the scsi.inf containing the error.

HOW TO USE:

1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk...(C:\MD TEMP).

2. Then change to that directory...(C:\CD TEMP)

3. Then copy SP1027.EXE from the SoftPaq diskette...
     (C:\TEMP\copy a:\sp1027.exe).

4. Then run SP1027.EXE.

5. There will be multiple xxxxSCSI.yyy files (where xxxx = SRVR or CLNT 
   and yyy = ENG,FRN,ITA,GER,SPA,JPN) the bad scsi.inf file should be in
   the base OS directory (C:\winnt\system32 or c:\winnt31\system32 
   depending on where you installed it). To fix the problem simply copy 
   the coresponding scsi.inf file over to the \winnt\system32 directory...
	SRVR = Advanced Server 
	CLNT = Client or Workstation

	ENG  = English
	FRN  = French
	ITA  = Italian
	GER  = German
	SPA  = Spanish
	JPN  = Japanese

   So to fix the problem on a system with NT 3.1 French Workstation:

        copy CLNTSCSI.FRN  c:\winnt\system32\scsi.inf
        
   Or for a system with NT 3.1 Englis Advanced Server:

        copy SRVRSCSI.ENG c:\winnt\system32\scsi.inf
	          
   After following this procedure you will be able to properly install the 
   drivers for both C710 and C810 controllers.
