Drivers for the SCSI controller and tape drive hardware are located on Support
Software Diskettes and on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD.
The Support Software ships with each computer or can be downloaded from
the Compaq website. The software tape device driver is located either with
your tape backup software or with the operating system. Refer to your backup
software application installation guide for more information regarding
additional software that might be needed

Run the
README.COM
file on any of the
Novell Software Support Diskettes (NSSD)
for driver installation instructions.
Be sure to load drivers in accordance with the Compaq controller being used.
There are additional driver issues if you wish to use applications requiring the
Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) support. For more information
see the following section.
ASPI Support
The README.COM on the Novell Software Support Diskette (NSSD)
outlines the specific drivers you need to support ASPI tape backup
applications.
If you are using a tape backup application that uses the ASPI, such as
ARCserveIT from Compaq or VERITAS BackupExec, refer to the information
provided with your application NLM to determine whether it uses ASPI.
The Compaq ASPI drivers, CPQSASPI.NLM Device Driver Functional
Specification (DDFS) and NWASPI.NLM NetWare Peripheral Architecture
(NWPA), provide ASPI support for the Compaq SCSI architecture for
applications that require this interface.
All of the required drivers for ASPI tape support are provided on the Novell
Software Support Diskette (NSSD). The Support Software ships with each
computer or can be downloaded from the Compaq website.
