Description:
------------

     This is the initial release of the ST01 Adapter Device Driver.
It allows using all capabilities of the Seagate(*) adapter under OS/2(*).
Up to 7 devices may be connected to the driver including tape streamers
and CD-Roms. Device-ID 7 is reserved by the adapter.

Installation:
-------------

     Be sure to have a OS/2 bootable diskette before trying to install the
device driver. It is also recommended to back up your file system before
installation.

1.   Enable the interrupt on your ST01 adapter. Be sure that the interrupt
     level is unused.

2.   Copy the file "ST01.ADD" to your root directory or to /OS2 of your
     boot drive.

3.   Add the line BASEDEV=ST01.ADD <Options> to CONFIG.SYS
     Possible Options are:
     /V                 : Turn on verbose output during installation
     /I:<levl>          : Set interrupt level
     /!SM:<id>,<id>,... : Disable OS2SCSI.DMD for specified devices
     /!DM:<id>,<id>,... : Disable OS2DASD.DMD for specified devices
     /S:<id>            : Report streamer device to any requesting driver
                          during boot time, even if it is powered off
     /C:<id>		: Report CD-ROM device to any requesting driver
                          during boot time, even if it is powered off

4.   Reboot

Problems:
---------

There may be problems with some older versions of the ST01 adapter.
A fix for these problems is described in "ST01FIX.TXT", that is part 
of the GTAK212-package.

This driver is tested OK with the following devices:

Syquest(*) SQ555  ( OS2DASD.DMD + LOCKDRV.FLT + ST01.ADD )
GSO tape streamer ( OS2TAPE.DMD + ST01.ADD )

please report any successful or unsuccessful combinations.

This is the initial BETA revision of the ST01 driver, there are still some
things that are unimplemented yet:

- Bus Timeout Handling ( will be added soon )
- Retries on Read and Write operations
- Restricted functionallity if installed without interrupts
- Setting of device geometry in the command line
