*************************************************************

The Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver installation package 
contains the following items:

1.  Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver:
        INTELATA.SYS

2.  Installation File:
        INTELATA.INF

3.  Readme File:
        README.TXT


************************************************************* 
* 2.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS                                                  
*************************************************************

NOTE:  This driver has been designed for and tested with 
Microsoft Windows* NT 4.0 with Service Packs 3 and 4.  This 
driver will only install on systems running Windows NT 4.0.

1.  The system chipset must contain one of the followng 
components:
 
Intel 82371FB - PIIX
Intel 82371SB - PIIX3
Intel 82371AB/EB - PIIX4/PIIX4E
Intel 82801AA/AB - ICH/ICH0

2.  Microsoft Windows* NT Version 4.0 and Service Pack 3 or 4 
must be installed.

3.  There must be no other IDE controllers enabled on the 
system (e.g., add-in IDE controller, sound card with IDE 
controller, etc.).

4.  Verify the length of the cables that are being used to 
connect the ATA/ATAPI devices to the primary and secondary 
IDE interfaces.  The length of these cables from END-TO-END 
should not exceed 18 inches (0.46 Meter).  Furthermore, the 
capacitance of the cable should not exceed 35pF.  Please 
review your Intel chipset datasheets for more information.

5.  When using Ultra ATA/66 devices (Ultra DMA Mode 3/4 
capable), be sure to use an 80-conductor IDE cable.  This 
driver will not perform Ultra DMA Mode 3/4 transfers unless 
the special 80-conductor cable is installed.


*************************************************************
* 3.  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE                                              
*************************************************************

NOTE:   This procedure assumes that the software device 
driver (INTELATA.SYS) and installation file (INTELATA.INF) 
are located in the same directory.  Record the locations of 
the driver installation and Windows NT directories before 
installing the driver.  Although the driver is installed as a 
SCSI device driver, the driver only works for devices 
connected to the IDE channels.

1.  Check the System Requirements.  Windows NT and Service 
Packs 3 or 4 must be fully installed and running on the 
system prior to installing the driver.

2.  Close all running applications.

3.  Run SETUP.EXE, located in the same directory as this 
README.TXT file.

4.  You will be prompted to agree to the licensing agreement.  
If you do not agree, the Installer will exit prior to 
extracting the necessary driver files.

5.  When prompted, choose the location in which to place the 
Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver files.  The default location 
is C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTEL\INTELATA - modify this location if 
desired.

6.  When prompted, choose whether to view the README.TXT 
file.

7.  At this point, the automated installer is complete.
Manual installation is now required to complete driver 
installation.

8.  Select START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL.

9.  Invoke the "SCSI Adapters" applet.

10.  Click on the folder tab labeled "Drivers."  The 
currently installed SCSI adapter drivers will be listed in 
the Drivers menu.    

The display MAY list the default driver, "IDE CD-ROM (Atapi 
1.2) / Dual-Channel PCI IDE Controller" OR a previous install 
of the Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver, listed as "Intel Ultra 
ATA Controller" or "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE 
Controller".

NOTE:  this text may vary according to the release of 
Windows* NT 4.0.  

If neither of these adapter drivers is listed, go to Step 
13 below.

11.  If the "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller" or 
"Intel Ultra ATA Controller" is listed, select it.  Then, 
select "Remove" to remove the driver.

12.  Otherwise If the default driver ("IDE CD-ROM (Atapi 1.2) 
/ Dual- Channel PCI IDE") is listed, select it.  Then, select 
"Remove" to remove the driver.

13.  Select "Add..." to add a new driver.

14.  From the "Install Disk" dialog box, select "Have Disk".
             
15.  The "Windows NT Setup" dialog box will appear prompting 
for the path of the installation files.   Specify the 
location of the driver installation directory when prompted 
to do so.  

16.  Click on "Intel Ultra ATA Controller" and then click 
"Ok".

NOTE:  If the driver was previously installed on the 
system, a dialog box will appear that states that driver for 
the "Intel PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controller" or "Intel 
Ultra ATA Controller" is already on the system.  If this 
occurs, select "New" to install the new driver.

17.  When prompted, reboot the system as directed in order 
for the changes to take effect.

NOTE:  After installation, the INTELATA.SYS file is 
stored in the <Windows NT directory>\System32\Drivers 
directory.

*************************************************************

*************************************************************
* 7.  DEVICE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION                                     
*************************************************************

During initialization, the Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver 
will auto-identify all devices connected to the chipset IDE 
interface.  Depending on the capabilities of each device 
connected to the system, the driver will initialize the 
chipset IDE controller and device for either bus mastering 
(DMA) or PIO (Programmed I/O) data transfers.

Only drives identified as bus master capable will be accessed 
via Direct Memory Access (DMA modes); all other drives will 
be accessed in a PIO-only fashion.  In general, bus mastering 
is possible for ATA/ATAPI devices that support the following 
DMA timing modes:

    Single Word DMA Mode 2
    Multi-Word DMA Modes 1-2
    Ultra DMA Modes 0-4

These devices will be accessed by the driver via either DMA 
or PIO accesses, depending on the specific transfer 
conditions.

Devices that do not support the DMA timing modes listed 
above, or whose PIO timings are faster than their DMA 
timings, will be accessed in a PIO-fashion ONLY.

For more information and a list of tested devices, see the 
'Release Testing' section of this document.

* 8.  RELEASE NOTES                                                        
*************************************************************

These release notes describe the current, known state of the 
Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver.  The release notes are 
divided into three sections:

   8a.  Release-Specific Troubleshooting Information
   8b.  Changes Included from Previous Release

*************************************************************
* 8a.  RELEASE-SPECIFIC TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION                        
*************************************************************
Verifying the installation of the driver and other generic 
troubleshooting is discussed in the "TROUBLESHOOTING" section 
above.  This section describes release-specific 
troubleshooting.

This section contains a list of known problems discovered via 
testing the driver under certain system configuration.  If 
the solution given to any of the problems listed below is to 
de-install the driver, follow the de-installation 
instructions outlined above in the section "DE-INSTALLING
THE SOFTWARE".

Issue: One or more of the IDE/ATAPI drives on the 
system fail to perform correctly and/or is not recognized by 
the driver.

Solution:   Ensure that devices on the system are 
connected according to the manufacturers' documentation.  If 
the system still fails to operate reliably, de-install the 
driver.

Issue:  The CD-ROM drive fails to perform correctly after the 
driver has been installed (e.g. audio CD-ROMs or advanced CD-
ROM applications fail to perform correctly).

Solution:   De-install the driver.

Issue:  The driver is not compatible with EZ-Drive* 
floppy boot protection option. 
 
Solution:  If EZ-Drive is installed on the boot drive, 
the floppy boot protection option must be disabled prior to 
installing the Intel Bus Master IDE Driver.  If, for any 
reason, the floppy boot protection cannot be disabled, the 
driver should not be installed.

Issue:  The driver does not support CD-ROM changer drives.

Solution:   Do not install the driver in configurations 
equipped with this type of device.
