	  drivers for Qlogic Corp. Fast!SCSI Host Adapter Cards
	
	QL40NWR3.DSK Netware 3.1x driver for ISA, EISA, VL SCSI host adapters ASPI 		support. Use this driver if ASPI support is needed.
	
	QL40NWR3.DSK Netware 3.1x driver for ISA, EISA, VL SCSI host adapters No ASPI 		support. Use this driver in cases were another ASPI driver is already in use.

	NOTE: For the best SCSI performance, enable disconnects (disc=1), and 
	fast synchronous mode (sync=2), and enable parity for data integrity 
	(parity=1). Most devices will negotiate for their appropriate 
	synchronous data rate, even if they don't support 'fast' synchronous 
	mode.

	All parameters can be entered one of three ways, example:
	
	1. parity=0 (disable parity on all SCSI devices)
	2. parity=1 (enable parity on all SCSI devices)
	3. parity[0000000] (enable/disable parity on a per SCSI ID basis. The 
	SCSI ID's start with the lowest ID on the left and end with the 
	highest ID on the right. A maximum of seven values may be entered 
	(the adapter uses 1 available SCSI ID.))
 
	Most of the command line parameters would typically be entered for 
	all devices on an adapter, example: parity=1. The optional parameter 
	form, example: parity[1000000] is provided to allow parameters to be 
	enabled/disabled for each individual device. This may be useful to 
	allow the use of older SCSI devices which may not support certain 
	SCSI modes such as synchronous mode, and still allow newer SCSI 
	devices to use synchronous mode.  

	Example command lines: (as entered in the server's STARTUP.NCF file)

	1. load QL40NTW3 port=330 int=B parity=1 sync=2 disc=1 rawv=1 card=10

	This command line loads the NetWare 3.1x driver (QL40NTW3) and sets 
	the port address to 330, the interrupt level to B (11 decimal), 
	enables parity on all SCSI LUNs, selects fast synchronous mode, 
	enables disconnects on all LUNs, enables read after write verification 
	on all devices, and sets the card I.D. number to 10.

	2. load QL40NTW3 port=330 int=B parity=1 sync[1200000] disc[1000000] 
	   card=10

	This command line loads the driver and sets port address and 
	interrupt level as the first example command line, however, 
	synchronous mode is enabled slow for SCSI ID 0, fast for 
	SCSI ID 1, and disconnects are enabled only for SCSI ID 0. 

	Command Line Parameters:

	parity - SCSI bus parity checking (enable on all SCSI devices if 
	possible for data integrity)

	parity=0 - disables parity for all SCSI devices on this adapter 
	(default) parity=1 - enables parity for all SCSI devices on this 
	adapter parity[1000000] - enables parity for SCSI ID 0
	-------------------------------------------------------------------
	sync - SCSI syncronous mode (enable 'fast' mode on all SCSI devices 
	if possible for best performance)

	sync=0 - disables synchronous mode on all SCSI devices on this adapter 
	(default)
	sync=1 - enables 'slow' (5 megabyte/second) sync mode on all SCSI 
	devices on this adapter
	sync=2 - enables 'fast' (10 megabyte/second) sync mode on all SCSI 
	devices on this adapter
	sync[1000000] - enable synchronous mode for  SCSI ID 0
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	disc - SCSI disconnects (enable for all SCSI devices if possible for 
	best performance)

	disc=0 - disables SCSI disconnects on all SCSI devices on this adapter 
	(default)
	disc=1 - enables SCSI disconnects on all SCSI devices on this adapter
	disc[1000000] - enable disconnects on SCSI ID 0
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	extend - extended device geometry (enable if the hard disk device is 
	larger than 1 gigabyte)
 
	extend=0 all disks on adapter are smaller than 1 gigabyte
	extend=1 all disks on adapter are larger than 1 gigabyte
	extend[1000000] - enable extended mode for SCSI ID0
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	rawv - read after write verify (enable for best data integrity, 
	disable for best performance)

	rawv=0 - disables read after write verification on all SCSI devices 
	on this adapter (default)
	rawv=1 - enables read after write verification on all SCSI devices 
	on this adapter
	rawv[1000000] - enable read after write verify for SCSI ID 0
	-------------------------------------------------------------------
	luns - enable multiple LUNs per SCSI ID (disable unless device 
	supports multiple LUNs per SCSI ID)

	luns=0 - enable only 1 lun per SCSI ID. (default)                               
	luns[2111111] enable 2 LUNs on SCSI ID 0 
	The valid range of LUNs is 1 thru 8
	-------------------------------------------------------------------
	exclude - exclude devices from being reported to Netware. This is primarily used
	in cases were disk devices are controlled thru the ASPI manager by an application
	rather than being controlled directly by Netware, such as certain software RAID
	products that report a group of hard drives as one Netware disk.

	excude=0 All devices are configured by Netware
	exclude=1 All devices are confirgured but not reported to Netware
	exclude[1000000] Exclude SCSI ID 0 from being reported to Netware
	-------------------------------------------------------------------
	card - card identifier number (use as method for identifying adapter 
	card to system manager)
	card= 0 to 255 decimal
