ASPI Drivers

**Hipster Doofus** · April 24th, 2003

OK I have loaded the driver now where do I go to see the version that is installed? I ain't got a clue.

**dreamliner77** · April 24th, 2003

check adaptec's site for a program called aspichk32. It should tell you about what you have installed

or just download Nero's aspi layer and throw it in your win32 dir.

**Hipster Doofus** · April 24th, 2003

O right. I already have that checker. Forgot about it.

Thought it would be on the system somewhere. Thanx.

**dreamliner77** · April 24th, 2003

no problem. no charge this time

**Hipster Doofus** · April 24th, 2003

Doesn't make sense to me. With xp I think only two files get installed. It is working OK.....well it hasn't given me any grief but the checker says it is not installed properly.

Before starting this thread I did a forum search & found this page. I downloaded 'force aspi' & everything else there.

I'll run that & see what it does........later today.

[edit] I won't run it. Just as I hit submit I remembered they are 4.60. I have 4.71.

I'll do that google.

[edit edit] OK I'll forget google & hit that link instead.

**Hipster Doofus** · April 24th, 2003

Followed the link & found that I already downloaded the file. I think it still has the older driver. Might try & see if I can get 4.71 in there some how. Thanx for the help. Will keep trying to sort it out.

**dreamliner77** · April 25th, 2003

4.60 is generally considered the better ASPI layer. Newer is not always better.

**Hipster Doofus** · April 25th, 2003

Yeah I've only tried the later driver. It works OK it's just that stupid checker that says it not..............but it is.

You only need the first and last files, the two in the middle don't apply. And for XP I would go for at least 4.70. No need for ForceASPI, Apaptec now allows use of it's ASPI for anyone, might as well get it from the source..

Was there a specific reason you need an additional ASPI layer?

**Hipster Doofus** · May 3rd, 2003

I went back to 4.6. Heard some horror stories about 4.7 with xp but I found it OK. I'm trying a new burning program, burnatonce. Great little program. Freeware of course.

Have the same problem as Hipster , run Aspichk and you get an error message on installation of aspi files.
Have tried to run a program from Grc .com that relies on Aspi layer to check the performance of zip discs.
Neither Aspi 4.60 or 4.71/2 have initialled on XP correctly, to allow recognition of the zip drive on this program.
Even forcing them makes no diff.

Worked fine in Win 98

**Hipster Doofus** · May 6th, 2003

Did you use Force ASPI? If so in the folder you will find 'killaspi.bat'. Try running that to remove aspi, reboot, then run 'instaspi.bat' to install 4.6.
