Changes since 0.3:

  • The OpenASPI drivers come with it, each one an option, loaded after EUSBASPI.SYS:
Option
Sticks, card readers, disks (on) ASPIDSK.SYS
CD/DVD drives (on) ASPICDA.SYS, SHSUCDX
ZIP, LS-120, LS-240, Clik!, Jaz ASPIFDD.SYS
Tape drives ASPITAP.SYS, TAPECTL.COM

With EUSBASPI already loaded, ASPISCAN.COM finds the devices and preselects the options. No Adaptec drivers are needed any more.

  • SHSUCDX with digital CD audio (geosone/shsucd 4.00-g1, CDAUDIO.COM): SHSUCDX of the package always wins over MSCDEX (MS-DOS) and NWCDEX (DR-DOS). An existing MSCDEX/NWCDEX line starts SHSUCDX instead, keeps its CD-ROM drivers and drive letters and gets /D:ASPICDA0; INSTALL /U puts MSCDEX or NWCDEX back. Needs the GeosOne Dual Installer 1.14.0 (included).
  • OpenASPI and SHSUCD have installers of their own; all share C:\OPENASPI, each can be installed alone or together.
  • From 0.3: remove 0.3 first (INSTALL /U in C:\OPENASPI\EUSBASPI): it loaded Adaptec's ASPIDISK.SYS and ASPICD.SYS, which use the same drives.

Tested in QEMU with MS-DOS 7.1 (an IDE CD with MSCDEX before; after setup a USB CD (ASPICDA) and a USB stick (ASPIDSK) on EHCI, both CDs through SHSUCDX; INSTALL /U restores CONFIG.SYS and the MSCDEX line) - not yet on real hardware, please test with care (backup!) and report. The OpenASPI drivers are version 0.1 (OpenAspi 354a558).
