ASPI was developed by Adaptec in the early 1990s. It was originally designed to support SCSI drives. Support for ATAPI interface (such as IDE) was later added.
 
Microsoft licensed the interface for used with its[[Windows earlier9x|Windows operating9x systemsseries]]. At the same time Microsoft developed [[SCSI Pass Through Interface]] (SPTI), an in-house substitute that worked on the NT platform. With the release of Windows 2000, Microsoft dropped ASPI in favor of its own SPTI. User may still download ASPI from Adaptec. A number of CD/DVD applications also continue to offer their own implementations of ASPI layer.
