SUMMARY
=======

When you use a DTC 3290 or DTC 3292 SCSI controller with Windows 3.1, the
following lines must be present in the CONFIG.SYS file:

     ASPI3X90.SYS   12-16-91   10809 bytes
     ASCSI.SYS      12-16-91   7360 bytes

Windows cannot run in 386 enhanced mode unless these drivers are loaded.

MORE INFORMATION
================

According to DTC technical support, the SCSI drivers must be loaded right after
the HIMEM.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS file. The ASPI3X90.SYS driver must also
include the "Q" switch.

A typical CONFIG.SYS file looks as follows:

     DEVICE = C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
     DEVICE = C:\ASPI3X90.SYS /Q
     DEVICE = C:\ASCSI.SYS
     FILES = 50
     BUFFERS = 20

These files are available on the DTC bulletin board service (BBS). Contact DTC
for more information.
