DESCRIPTION:  Creates the MS-DOS SCSI Support Diskette for the Compaq 32-Bit 
Fast-SCSI-2 Controller and the Compaq SMART SCSI Array Controller.

The diskette contains the following DOS drivers:

- FWS2ASPI.SYS    Provides DOS ASPI support on all COMPAQ 32-Bit
                  Fast-SCSI-2 and COMPAQ 32-Bit Fast-Wide SCSI-2
                  controllers and support for accessing int 13h SCSI
                  devices in virtual mode without virtual DMA services.

- FWS2CD.SYS      Provides ASPI-based support for reading ISO 9660
                  CD-ROMs under Microsoft's CD-ROM extensions, MSCDEX.EXE.

- FWS2DISK.SYS    Provides full DOS support for up to 24 logical
                  drives when used with FWS2ASPI.

- SMRTSCSI.SYS    Provides support on SMART SCSI Array controller for
                  accessing logical drives in protected mode.  Also
                  supports multiple controllers and up to 24 logical
                  drives.

- MSCDEX.EXE      Provides CD-ROM support under DOS.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:

- Allows driver to support a maximum of 16 host adapters.

- AddS PCI bus/device/function numbers to host adapter parameters so that 
  hardware discovery in SmartStart can properly distinguish the two embedded 
  SCSI controllers.

HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. Run README.COM on the diskette for instructions on installing and 
using the software.
