* With this SCSI driver you will be able to connect other (internal) SCSI peripherals
* besides the HP CD-Writer, and use them under OS/2.
*************************************************************************
* However, for the CD-Writer to work you need copyrighted, propietary drivers that
* come bundled with OS/2 CD-recording software. (UNITE CD MAKER or maybe
* GEAR for OS/2).

Quick Note:
----------
Like many OS/2 users, I'm beggining to wonder what's the
problem with Hewlett Packard and their lack of OS/2 support. They have
great products like their ScanJet scanners, or the HP SureStore
CD-Writer, but they don't include .ADD drivers for *ANY* of their SCSI
controllers bundled with their products (not to talk about scanner
drivers or OS/2 CD-R software). They have an "os/2 software" section in
their support home page that is completely EMPTY! (no files at all!!).
If you want to use your HP SureStore unit with OS/2, you
have two choices for native CD-recording: GEAR, and UNITE CD-MAKER.
Gear doesn't include support for the SureStore's bundled SCSI card,
but UNITE CD-Maker does.
These drivers come from the UNITE CD-Maker freely
distributable demo version, available on their web site at the
Cirrus Technology web site (http://www.cirunite.com). After looking at
the drivers, I found that the SCSI driver (c) belongs to Advanced Systems
Products, makers of the SCSI interface, and not Cirrus.
So, instead of writing just a text file pointing to the
Unite demo, I've written a driver profile so you can install the AdvanSys
SCSI drivers automatically using the Device Driver Install object in the
OS/2 System Setup folder.
INSTALLATION:
------------
From the OS/2 desktop, press the 2nd mouse button and select
"System Setup" from the pop-up menu, then double-click on the "Device
Driver Install" object.
Or, from an os/2 command prompt, type DDINSTAL.
The drivers will be installed automatically.
Shutdown and reboot your system.
