| 2927.1 | for which operating system? | TARKIN::LIN | Bill Lin | Thu Feb 20 1997 10:44 | 0 | 
| 2927.2 |  | LEFTY::CWILLIAMS | CD or not CD, that's the question | Thu Feb 20 1997 12:40 | 7 | 
|  |     Not required for NT or W95 - the O/S will just connect them.
    
    For Win 3.1/WFW, you need a copy of Easy-SCSI 3.0 or later, from
    Adaptec. This is not shareware, freeware, etc - it must be purchased.

| 2927.3 | Adaptec/Toshiba combo?? | TSTDES::MICHAUD | Think about software that thinks! | Thu Feb 20 1997 13:22 | 16 |

    I just installed this drive yesterday and noticed that when booting up
    in DOS, the controller see the drive but doesn't assign a drive letter
    to it. Shouldn't it? I also tried to install WNT4.0 as well but
    complains about the disk not being ready. I tried reseating the disk
    etc..still has a problem. This is on a DECpc XL Server 566 which claims
    to be supported in the HCL. The part that I don't know is if this box
    ever had a CDROM in it and who the manufacturer was. If that really
    makes a difference. I looked up on Toshiba's home page for the driver
    for that model and they claim that the driver only works with Future
    Domain SCSI adapters. Now, if they didn't have a driver for an 
    Adaptec/Toshiba combo, did we do it internally or maybe we never
    had that combo? Was it ever supported in the company?
    
    thanks,
    John

    	If you're looking at it in the DOS domain, you have to either run
    EZSCSI to install the CD for you or install it manually yourself.
    
    	If you're loading NT 4.0, use the latest Adaptec drivers from the
    7800 Manager set.  Skip auto detection and manually load the drivers
    from diskette.
    
    	There should be no problem with this CD.
