Installing the Driver When Installing Windows 95
A version of the aic78xx.mpd (Ultra2 SCSI) driver is embedded (included) in the Windows 95 installation
CD-ROM. During a normal Windows 95 installation, the 7800 Family host adapter (Ultra2 SCSI or earlier) is
detected in your system and the embedded aic78xx.mpd driver is automatically installed.

SCSI or earlier) installed in your computer, or you are installing the aic78u2.mpd driver for
an Ultra2 SCSI host adapter, you must install the driver manually after Windows 95 is
complete. Follow the procedures in the section Installing the Driver When Windows 95 is
