When you select a devicefrom the list and press the key, another window pops up giving you theoption of selecting one of two sub-utilities, Format Disk or Verify Media. Theseutilities are used for hard disk drives only and will have no effect on other non-diskSCSI devices.Format Disk is a SCSI low-level format utility. In general, SCSI hard disks havealready been low-level formatted when you get them, so you generally should notneed to use this.Verify Media scans the selected drive media for defects, notifies you of any foundand gives you the option of reassigning bad blocks so that data will not be written tothem. Doing this before you start using a disk is a good idea.Operating System SupportThe PCI-AS300 supports both DOS/Windows under MS-DOS 5.0 and up, allowingyou to connect up to seven hard disk drives. You can used the supplied Adapted EZ-SCSI Windows utility to enable using non-disk SCSI devices such as scanners, tapedrives, or CD-ROM drives. It also allows mounting and removing removable me-dia such as CD-ROMs and support for more than eight hard disks under MS-DOS5.0 or later and more than two hard disks under earlier versions.In addition, this card supports operating systems other than DOS, including NovellNetWare, OS/2, OS/2 Warp, Windows NT, SCO Unix, and Unix Ware.
