(ASPI) A set of libraries designed toprovide programs running under Microsoft Windows with aconsistent interface for accessing SCSI devices. ASPI hasbecome a de facto standard.The ASPI layer is a collection of programs (DLLs) thattogether implement the ASPI interface. Many problems arecaused by device manufacturers packaging incomplete sets ofthese DLLs with their hardware, often with incorrect datestamps, causing newer versions to get replaced with old.ASPICHK from Adaptec will check the ASPI components installedon a computer.The latest ASPI layer as of March 1999 is 1014.The ATAPI standard for IDE devices makes them look to thesystem like SCSI devices and allows them to work through ASPI.
