ASPI Manager Fails to Load

Note: Some implementation of SCSI on the Motherboard using the Adaptec AIC-7890 chipset will result in the ASPI Manager ASPI8U2.SYS (version 1.07), which is supplied on this DFT diskette, failing to load. Should this be the case and you are sure your SCSI controller is built around this chipset then you should replace the file ASPI8U2.SYS in the A:\ASPI sub-directory of the diskette with the ASPI8U2.SYS that should have been supplied as part of the software support package for your hardware.

Drives Attached to PCI IDE Adapter not seen by DFT

If using a Plug-in PCI IDE adapter that uses the Highpoint HPT366 or the HPT370 chipset in some systems DFT will fail to detect drives attached to this adapter. To fix this problem ensure that the PCI IDE adapter BIOS is upgraded to the latest level. For example if using the EPUSB66 adapter then you will need to have BIOS level 1.25 or above. BIOS updates can be obtained from the following web site:

This release of DFT supports testing drives attached to motherboards and Plug-in PCI Serial-ATA controllers, which uses the Highpoint HPT374 and 372A ( with Marvel Bridge chip ) chipsets, Silicon Image SIL3112A and 0680 chipset and Intel ICH5 chipset.
