=================================


This is the README.TXT file for the HP ScanJet II series scanner driver 
that functions with third-party SCSI cards conforming to the ASPI or CAM 
specification. The following files should be on this disk:

README.TXT ... Text file with product information and installation 
               instructions (the file you are now reading).

SJIIX.SYS ... HP ScanJet series II scanner driver designed to work with 
              third-party SCSI cards conforming to the ASPI or CAM 
              specification.

FINDSCSI.EXE ... Executable file that determines if the scanner driver 
                 SJIIX.SYS will work with installed third-party SCSI 
                 card.

SJIITEST.EXE ... Executable file that tests data communications 
                 integrity between the HP ScanJet series II scanner and 
                 the installed third-party SCSI card.


INSTALLATION
============
1. Run FINDSCSI.EXE to determine whether your SCSI card is compatible 
with SJIIX.SYS. If it is not, contact your SCSI card manufacturer to get 
an ASPI or CAM driver. (If your manufacturer does not supply an ASPI or 
CAM driver, you cannot use SJIIX.SYS to run your HP ScanJet series II 
scanner on your SCSI card.)

2. Copy SJIIX.SYS into the same directory where SJII.SYS exists 
(C:\DESKSCAN is the default directory).

3. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to place SJIIX.SYS below your ASPI or CAM 
manager. The ASPI or CAM device driver is typically the first statement 
in CONFIG.SYS. Here is a sample CONFIG.SYS listing:

   (ASPI MANAGER)  DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI4DOS.SYS /D
                   DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
                   FILES= 50
                   BUFFERS=2
                   DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM X=B000-BFFF
                   STACKS=9,256
                   DOS=HIGH,UMB
                   DEVICE=C:\ADAPTEC\ASPIDISK.SYS /D
 (Scanner driver)  DEVICEHIGH=C:\SCSI\SJIIX.SYS
                   SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /e:1000 /p
                   DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE

4. Delete the old SJII.SYS device driver.

5. Save your CONFIG.SYS changes and reboot.

NOTE: ASPI and CAM managers will have different device names. Here are a 
few examples:

     ASPI Manager for an Adaptec AHA-1540 SCSI card
     device=c:\aspi4dos.sys

     CAM Manager for a Future Domain 1680 SCSI card
     device=c:\scsi\futurdom\dcam1800.exe

     ASPI mananger for an UltraStor 14F SCSI card
     device=c:\uspi14.sys

TESTED SCSI CARDS
=================
The following SCSI cards have been tested with SJIIX.SYS using DeskScan 
II or one of the above mentioned applications, and appear to function 
normally.

     Adaptec: AHA-1510, AHA-1520, AHA-1540, AHA-1542, AHA-1740, AHA-1742
     Always: IN-2000
     BusLogic: BT-742A, BT-545S
     Corel: LS2000
     DTC: 3280AS
     Future Domain: 1680
  ** Trantor: MA348, T348
     UltraStor: 14F, 24F, 34F


KNOWN ISSUES
============

** SJIIX.SYS has difficulties maintaining communication protocol with 
the TRANTOR MA348 Parallel-to-SCSI adapter. This results in intermittent
communications error messages within DeskScan II. HP is working with 
Trantor to identify the cause of the problem and implement a solution.
