DOS
Requires BlueSCSI firmware v2024.05.21 or newer. Supports CD changer, and SD file transfer.
The Adaptec EZ-SCSI 4.01 drivers work best providing full ASPI layer compatibility.
NOTE: If using EZ-SCSI 5.0 or newer (for Ultra 2 or Ultra 3 cards especially), you must install Windows 3.1/3.11, the 386 Enhanced drivers, start Windows, and launch an MS-DOS prompt to use the toolbox utility. Later versions of the Adaptec drivers lack the full ASPI compatibility required.
A pre-installed and configured DOS SCSI image is available from our BlueSCSI-Images#pc page.

Windows
The pre-installed and configured DOS SCSI image available from our BlueSCSI-Images#pc page already has Windows 3.11 installed and compatible drives for most of Adaptec's SCSI card range. If setting up Windows 3.1/3.11 yourself, installing the 386 Enhanced 32-bit drivers included with EZ-SCSI 4.0 or newer is recommended.
For Windows 95, NT 4.0 or newer, the native drivers work without any additional requirements.
