ASPI device manager. SPI Device Manager for drivers according to the ASPI specification by Adaptec. Replaces the ASPI4OS2.SYS by Adaptec.

Syntax

 BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD <parameters>

Parameters

Both parameters prevent from exclusively allocating a device which prevents other DMD from using the device. At the same time they allow to access a device even if it is controlled by another DMD.

/SHARE
Allocates a device only while sending a command.
/ALL
No devices are allocated.

Remarks

TIP: If you are using RSJ CD Writer 2.59 or above you may add the parameter /ALL to BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD. Also needed by SANE and CDRECORD. After booting your machine, the recorder will be useable as a standard CD-ROM drive, and you will nevertheless be able to attach the CD to our filesystem. But please ensure that you're not using the CD-ROM drive letter at the same time when the CDR is attached to RSJ's filesystem, otherwise this will result in errors. If you are using RSJ CD Writer 2.7 you can add unsupported drives
