1. Instructions for DOS users
=============================


1.1. Installing ORB Drive
-------------------------

There are two ways you can install the ORB Driver:

1.1.1 If you want the driver to be loaded during system boot up, 
      type A:(or B:)\INSTALL

1.1.2 You can also load the driver from the command prompt by typing IDEDRIVE 
      from A:(or B:).

Note: 1. In this case, you need to run IDEDRIVE whenever your system
         is restarted.
      2. This option cannot be used in Windows 9X DOS sessions.
      3. If you get an error message saying that there are not enough
         drive letters available, add the following line in CONFIG.SYS,
         LASTDRIVE=Z 
      4. You can assign a fixed drive letter for all the systems for your 
         parallel port drive. For example type IDEDRIVE /L:G where you would
         like to assign drive letter G to the parallel port drive.


1.2 ETOOLS application
----------------------

The ETOOLS application has the following features:

1. Option to scan the parallel ports for the existence of an IDE hard disk 
   drive and also report the type of Super IO card installed in the system.
2. Disk utilities to display the existing partitions, create new partitions and 
   format them. The ETOOLS partitioning scheme is based on the DOS FDISK for 
   the maximum compatibility across all operating systems. These partitions 
   will be recognized by DOS/Windows 3.X, Windows 9X, Windows NT and OS/2.
3. Option to set driver command line options.

These are the following command line arguments available for ETOOLS 
application.

/U                 : Forces the port to be Uni-directional
/E                 : Disables fast EPP
/Q                 : Disables ECP mode                                                    
/V                 : Disables edge mode data transfer     
/I                 : Uses interrupts during data transfer
/MONO              : Display will be in monochrome 
/SF=nn [nn=1..30]  : Introduces a delay factor
/SD=nn [nn=1..16]  : Spins down after nn seconds
/HELP or /?        : Will Display the available command line options                 


1.3 Driver command line options
-------------------------------

Use the command line options ONLY if the driver is unable to detect the
hardware or if the driver exhibits a data reliability problem. The options 
can be set using the "Device" - "Driver Settings" menu option of ETOOLS.EXE.

The command line options are:

1. Slow down Enhanced parallel port access.
2. Spin down time in minutes by [1-16] - This option makes the drive to 
   spin down, after the given time.
3. Force Port to behave as a Standard Parallel Port - This option will 
   force the driver to detect the parallel port as a uni-directional port 
   which is the slowest mode of operation.
4. Reduce Port access speed by [1-30] - This option slows down the port 
   access by a slow factor number and is applicable for all parallel port 
   types.
5. Turn off Burst Mode - This option slows down port access for 
   Uni-directional and Bi-directional parallel ports.

The Driver settings menu will be enabled only if

- the driver line entry is present in CONFIG.SYS and
- the file INSFILES.INF is present in the directory where the ETOOLS.EXE
  is present.

1.4 Installing driver for Removable IDE drive connected to internal
-------------------------------------------------------------------	
disk controller.
----------------

1.  DOS cannot handle removable IDE drives connected to the internal 
    ports. In order to take over the drive letters assigned by DOS
    to removable IDE drives you can run the batch file ORBITER.BAT.

    For eg: If DOS has assigned drive letter D: to internal removable 
    IDE drive then running ORBITER will take over the drive letter
    D: and you can now change media.


1.5 Uninstalling ORB Drive
--------------------------

To uninstall ORB Drive, run INSTALL.EXE from the directory where you have 
installed the software and choose Uninstall option.

2.2 16-Bit ORB Tools application
--------------------------------

The 16-Bit ORB Tools application has the features to:

1. Display the existing partitions.
2. Create new partitions and format them. The 16-bit ORB Tools partitioning
   scheme is based on the DOS FDISK for the maximum compatibility across all 
   operating systems. These partitions will be recognized by DOS/Windows 3.X, 
   Windows 9X, Windows NT and OS/2. Since ease of use and connectivity are 
   the main features of a parallel port based drive, DOS FAT (File Allocation 
   Table) format is used to put down the partitions. 16-Bit ORB Tools will
   also recognize several other formats such as OnTrack, Windows 9X,
   Windows NT (NTFS), OS/2's High Performance File System (HPFS) etc,.
3. View system details such as internal hard disk information, partition
   size, free space and Windows version.
4. Option to set driver command line options.


2.3 Driver command line options
-------------------------------

Use the command line options ONLY if the driver is unable to detect the
hardware or if the driver exhibits a data reliability problem. The options 
can be set using the "Driver Settings" tab of 16-bit ORB Tools application.

The command line options are:

1. Slow down Enhanced parallel port access
2. Turn off Burst Mode - This option slows down port access for 
   Uni-directional and Bi-directional parallel ports.
3. Force Port to behave as a Standard Parallel Port - This option will force 
   the driver to detect the parallel port as a uni-directional port which is 
   the slowest mode of operation.
4. Reduce Port access speed by [1-30] - This option slows down the port access
   by a slow factor number and is applicable for all parallel port types.

The Driver settings menu will be enabled only if

- the driver line entry is present in CONFIG.SYS and
- the file INSFILES.INF is present in the directory where the 16-Bit ORB
  Tools executable is present.

   drive and report the throughput that can be obtained from the port and also 
   the type of Super IO card installed in the system.
2. Attach/Detach option to dynamically attach/detach the devices on the 
   parallel port without restarting the system.
3. Disk utilities to display the existing partitions, create new partitions
   and format them. The ORB Tools partitioning scheme is based on the DOS
   FDISK for the maximum compatibility across all operating systems. These
   partitions will be recognized by DOS/Windows 3.X, Windows 9X, Windows NT
   and OS/2. Since ease of use and connectivity are the main features of a
   parallel port based drive, DOS FAT (File Allocation Table) format is used
   to put down the partitions. ORB Tools will also recognize several other
   formats such  as OnTrack, Windows 9X, Windows NT (NTFS), OS/2's High
   Performance File System (HPFS) etc,.
   Please note that the partitioning utility of Windows 9X or NT (FDISK) may 
   not recognize all the partitions created by ORB Tools. This is due to the 
   fact that Windows 9X and Windows NT treat IDE hard drives as SCSI drives
   and fix the geometry at 64 Heads and 32 Sectors, where as IDE drives can 
   have heads only up to 16 and Sectors up to 63.
4. Option to set driver command line options.


3.3 Un-partitioned hard drives
------------------------------
