PlexWriter 12/10/32S Operation Manual
12. Use the Browse button and go to the floppy drive or the folder of the hard disk
that contains the driver.
13. Highlight the driver listed.
14. Click on OK
15. When the driver is updated you will be prompted to reboot your system.
Reboot and everything should work fine.
Do you have Plug and Play enabled?
Another likely cause of problems is that your motherboard may not have a Plug-and-
Play-capable BIOS, or your Plug-and-Play SCSI interface board is not Plug-and-
Play-compliant. To solve this problem:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Check your motherboard BIOS (CMOS) or your SCSI controller BIOS to
confirm that Plug and Play is enabled. If it is disabled then enable Plug and Play.
3. If either your motherboard or your SCSI interface board does not support Plug
and Play, review the hardware installation procedures beginning on page 11 of
this manual. Make sure termination is set properly on your interface board and all
devices attached to it.
4. Restart your computer.
Do you have a SCSI ID conflict?
In this case, you simply need to deal with SCSI ID selection, as follows:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Review the discussion of SCSI ID selection in your drive’s operation manual.
3. Check the physical selection of SCSI ID on your PlexWriter drive and any other
SCSI devices connected to your interface board. Make sure that all devices are
physically set to unique IDs.
4. Your board also may not have automatic termination. If it does not have
automatic termination, you will also need to make sure the termination of your
board is set properly.
If you have both internal and external devices attached, the termination on
your SCSI interface board should be disabled. Review the interface board’s
documentation to determine how to do this.
If you have only internal devices, or only external devices, termination of
your SCSI interface board should remain enabled.
5. After the SCSI IDs and termination are set properly, restart your system.
Is your SCSI interface board being supported by Windows?
It is possible that your previously or separately purchased SCSI interface board is not
being supported properly by Windows 95/98 or ME. If you had to use the Windows
95/98 or ME disk or CD to get support for the interface board, the driver file may not
have existed, or the operating system may have loaded an older or incompatible
version of the file.
