Drewdatrip Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 What exactly does ASPI layering do? I know some burning programs require it and Winamp3 uses it. But im sort of wondering why i shoud install it.Thankx-Drew

Big Booger Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 ASPIASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) specifies how an application program can communicate with a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) device through a common SCSI device driver. ASPI provides a set of functions that are common to any SCSI device. Developed by Adaptec, ASPI has become the industry standard for controlling SCSI devices. The ASPI device driver is the program that actually interacts with the SCSI device. The layering looks something like this: application/utility, ASPI, ASPI driver, SCSI card.
suse lover Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 ****... and I always thought SCSI meant System Can't See It.
