PURPOSE
-------

To switch the LOAD MODE BYTE in a TDC 3700 to Auto Retention.

RULES
-----

The program will check that the SCSI (ASPI) driver is installed and all
the SCSI addresses.

It displays the ID and FW revision of connected SCSI devices, including 
the SCSI controller.

More than one TDC 3700 can be connected and the units to be changed
are displayed.
Note that only TDC 3700 units will be changed even if other units are
connected to the SCSI bus.

Status of operation will be displayed.

The operator is given the opportunity to abort the operation before the
EEPROM in the unit(s) are changed.

If the program is unable to fulfill the task, it displays the cause and
aborts.


SCSI CONTROLLER INTERFACE
-------------------------
The program is currently tested with the AHA 1510/1520 and 1540 SCSI 
controllers and their ASPI drivers "aspi2dos.sys" and "aspi4dos.sys".

Make sure that the device-driver aspiXdos.sys is included in the
config.sys file. (X=2 if Adaptec 1520 or 1510 board is used. X=4 if 1540 or 
1542 board is used).

However, since the program is interfaced to ASPI this means that not only 
ADAPTEC cards but any SCSI controller card using standard ASPI driver should 
work.
At least that's the theory.
