(adaptec 1742 EISA) Organization: XeniTec Consulting, Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1992 01:37:00 GMT Message-ID: <1992Sep24.013700.12279@xenitec.on.ca> Lines: 26 ok, it boots now, except that it has some problems talking to my drive. i have: Dell 450SE EISA 24 Meg RAM Adaptec 1742 ISEA SCSI controller Micropolis 1588 650 Meg SCSI drive WD/SMC 8013 10baseT ethernet. persons more knowledgeable in SCSI than i suggest that the problem may be something to do with the 1742 in standard (1542) mode, talking to a SCSI II drive. anyone got a bootable with mods for Adaptec 1742 and a SCSI II drive? i saw some patches come through here for SCSI, would they address this problem? it's a damn shame to have this box sitting idle. 8^) mail to jim@lsuc.on.ca would be appreciated. -- [ Jim Mercer Reptilian Research merce@iguana.reptiles.org +1 519 893-6085 ] [ I don't want to work for a company that has a CIO. ] [ Disclaimer!
