RELEASE NOTE:
        When using the SDC-3222WB host adapter, it will be necessary to 
        copy the BUS4292.OVL file from the Option/Configuration diskette
        to the system EISA configuration diskette or hard drive protected 
        partition in order to run the utilities directly from the diskette 
        or protected partition.  This .OVL or overlay file is necessary to 
        properly identify and configure the host adapter during the 
        configuration process.
*****************************************************************************


On this diskette are all of the ".cfg" and ".adf" files needed to configure 
our SCSI host adapter boards into EISA, ISA and Micro Channel computers. 
Follow your computer configuration procedures.  Each new board needs a 
configuration file when it is installed. This diskette supplies those files.


1. The configuration file changes made in this release were:

   A. Added ADP7770.OVL.  This file is required by the !ADP7771.CFG file to 
   config the SDC 3222WA and SDC 3222WDA controllers.
   
2. This diskette contains the Configuration files for all Storage Dimensions 
   Incorporated (SDI) Host Adapter Boards.  The file names associated with 
   each board are as follows:

3. Each host adapter board (see item 4. for MicroChannel boards) has 
   three files associated with it. Each file uses the same file name with 
   a different file extension.  For example, the files associated with the 
   SDC3222W are:

    !BUS4291.cfg -- this file is the one to be used with the user's EISA 
     configuration utility.  It contains the factory set defaults for the 
     most commonly used board configuration options.

    !BUS4291.std -- when the user receives the configuration diskette, the 
     "!BUS4291.std" file is identical to the "!BUS4291.cfg" file. In some 
     cases the user may change the"!BUS4291.cfg" file.  For example, SDI 
     Technical Support may instruct a user to copy the "!BUS4281.all" file 
     to the "!BUS4281.cfg" file.  This may be done to allow access to a 
     parameter not normally configured for the board.  For the user to return 
     to the factory default configuration options, the user can copy 
     "!BUS4218.std" to "!BUS4218.cfg", then run the EISA configuration 
     utility.

    !BUS4281.all -- this file contains all possible board configuration 
     options.  The "!BUS4281.cfg" and "!BUS4281.std" files contain the most 
     commonly used subset of the board configuration options.  To gain access 
     to the full set of board configuration options, the user can copy 
     "!BUS4218.all" to "!BUS4218.cfg", then run the EISA configuration 
     utility.

     Note: -- it is recommended that only experienced EISA system users work
              with the full set of configuration options.

4. Each MicroChannel board has three files associated with it.  Each file 
   uses the same file name with a different file extension.  For example, 
   the three files associated with the SDC3211B are:

    @0708.adf -- this file is the one to be used when the Reference Disk is 
    booted and the configuration utility is run.  It contains the factory set
    defaults for the most commonly used board configuration options.

    @0708.std -- when the user receives the configuration diskette, the 
    "@0708.std" file is identical to the "@0708.cfg" file.  In some cases the 
    user may change the "@0708.cfg" file.  For example, SDI Technical Support 
    may instruct a user to copy the "@0708.all" file to the "@0708.cfg" file.
    This may be done to allow access to a parameter not normally configured 
    for the board. For the user to return to the factory default configuration 
    options, the user can copy "@0708.std" to "@0708.cfg", then boot the 
    Reference Disk and run the configuration utility.

    @0708.all -- this file contains all possible board configuration options.
    The "@0708.cfg" and "@0708.std" files contain the most commonly used 
    subset of the board configuration options.  To gain access to the full
    set of board configuration options, the user can copy "!BUS4218.all" to 
    "!BUS4218.cfg", then boot the Reference Disk and run the configuration
    utility.

    Note: -- it is recommended that only experienced Microchannel system 
             users work with the full set of configuration options.

5. It is recommended that you configure our ISA config file when you add one 
   of the STORAGE DIMENSIONS ISA boards in an EISA PC.  By doing this, the 
   EISA configuration utility will be able to check for a resource conflict 
   with the ISA as well as EISA boards in the PC.  The list below is a list 
   of STORAGE DIMENSIONS ISA boards:

        SDI MODEL -- DESCRIPTION                          CONFIG FILE NAME
        SDC 1602  -- 16 bit ISA bus to SCSI bus            !ISAE601
        SDC 1602B -- 16 bit ISA bus to SCSI bus            !ISAE604
        SDC 1602F -- 16 bit ISA bus to FAST SCSI bus       !ISAE605
        SDC 1632  -- 16 bit ISA bus to ESDI disk bus       !ISAE603
