I'm working on a rewrite of the winaspi module, using Joerg Schilling's libscg. (libscg is a scsi transport library, with support of many
platforms,
cdrecord, cdrdao uses it). I'm nearly finished, but I could test only winaspi32 (with nero and isobuster), I need a software that uses the 16
bit
aspi interface to test it. Anyone knows such a software that uses
wnaspi.dll?
I don't think you will find too many of this type (16 bit software using aspi) due to the fact that the aspi interface is newer than the 32 bit api.
I'm not exactly sure about the historical timeframe but ASPI was quite early available for Win 3.1. At that time it was an Adaptec user space DLL calling into their low level driver. With Windows NT a 32 bit variant was released but I'm not sure if that was initially from Adaptec or MS, reusing most of the API definitions created by Adaptec safe from some 16 bit<->32 bit differences.
However as the ASPI interface for Win 3.1 was indeed a proprietary solution few other manufacturers felt compelled to support it and consequently few applications safe from the Adaptec utilities made real use of it. But most standdard applications really just went through the BIOS in Win 3.1 for drive access. I do have somewhere an old Win 3.1 installation on a old HD which I could try to dust of and there were a few smaller applications from Adaptec such as a SCSI bus probe which made use of it. However it may be quite possible that you won't get them running on a modern system even before it tries to access Winaspi.
