That did it. I checked the previous value of the Patch and it was 2048. Installing the Patch on MSDOS 6.2 with the 2048 value works just fine. Thanx for your help. Paul Wolfgang
CDSVR.NLM
Message #87658
Hello! I have downloaded the fiel NETPROF.EXE from your BBS and after installing it I get a new error from CDSVR.NLM. I load the file and I see: loader can not find public symbol: __CHK So I am unable do connect to the CD-server from any workstation and I don't…
I'm not at all sure what devices your numbers represent but I think I can solve your mystery if any of them were formatted using CFormat. CorelSCSI uses 1024 byte sectors, although it will recognize smaller ones. DOS only goes up to 512 byte sectors. CorelSCSI does this by running…
Tape drive backup
Message #87640
Bryan, I'm trying to use Corel SCSI! with: — a TEAC MT-2ST/45S2 60 Mb streaming cassette tape drive — a Maxtor LXT200s 200 Mb SCSI HDD — an Acculogic ISApport model 20 SCSI host adapter — CTBackup V1.22 and WTBackup V1.14 — Windows 3.1 / MSDOS 6.0 / 386MAX One…
Laszlo, I have been out of town so I did not receive your message until now. I removed the 1542c and replaced it with a 1542cf. Supposedly this was to take care of the problem. But, it has not. I guess my next try will be to put the 1542c…
os/2&bernoulli
Message #87583
Hi again I did uninstall MM/2 of os/2 and got the same results. I.E. the system will not read a previously formatted bernoulli disk. I get the media is not a valid format for this system message. Am I missing a parameter on the CORELSCSI driver line? I noticed that…
SCSI, DOS 6.2, SCANDISK
Message #87565
I have Corel SCSI with an Adaptec adapter and a Fujitsu 500MB hard disk. I am running DOS 6.2. Is there any concerns I should have in using things like SCANDISK and/or Norton's utilities on the SCSI disk?? – Dan
Laszlo, thanks for your answer, I will try it soon, and will inform you later. DET

2pc2742 under dos/nov
Message #87537
Hello there My question: is it possible to install two VL 2742 controller each with a 520MB SCSI drive under DOS 5.0 and or Novell 3.11/2.5 we want to have the same data on each drive (the system should be as save as possible so if one controller fails we…
Actually, Smartdrive is slower than the competition in 6.2, but otherwise is very efficient. Doing some comparisons, I find it noticeably slower in DOS, slower in loading and closing Windows, but not noticeable in actually running Windows programs, whatever that means. I've also discovered that, for some reason, the CD…
UNI_ASP.SYS
Message #87521
This is the way Microsoft designed DOS and it's built in. I really wouldn't fool with ASSIGN and such for other than temporary jobs, as they can wind up causing serious problems. It would be very nice to be able to reassign drive letters but since MS just discovered how…
Well, glad to see you coming on as you, but as of last Thursday the number you gave me refused to take orders for SCSI 2.0 and flatly stated that no orders would be accepted for it until at least next week. Not a great coordinated effort with marketing again…
You've got to have an ASPI manager for the card; the Corel manager is for a few specific cards only.

Thanks for your info. BTW I'm searching for a scanner-driver for a XEROX 7336 to use it under windows. Any ideas ? ( XES 7336 SCSI A0) Regards….. Andy
RAID! 1.0 w/ NW4.0
Message #87515
Would anyone help me ? I'm a new for this forum, from JAPAN. I'd like to know that if CorelRAID! works with NetWare 4.0, 4.01 or 3.12. I'm building another file server, currently using SCSI array board. Then, for some reason, I must replace it to two SCSI adapter and…
-patchless drivers? I was just told to install a patch that cures the error complaining abt. wrong format CDs, that (as it seems) I have to get from Canada (which is a bit expensive calling from germany) which one of the biggest local importers of corel-scsi pro doesn't seem to…
Laszlo, Thanks for the information. I will get in touch with customer service next week and see what the upgrade policy will be. Jay
I got the error while trying to load the ASPI manager that came with CorelSCSI. I don't have another ASPI manager for the card. I was told by the Compaq rep in the Compaq forum that the SCSI adapter I'm using doesn't support CD-ROM drives, so I'll have to get…
Sorry, it doesn't help….. i must reserve the E: for my CD-ROM (having to HDs C:,D:) , do you know a tiny prog that could reserved a letter in CONFIG.SYS and leave it a little time later ?
Laszlo, Thanks for the info! Since I posted my message, I switched to MS-DOS's smartdrv. At first it was just a trouble shooting attempt, but smrtdrv in DOS 6.2 now supports CDROM cacheing and appears to be about half the resident size. As far as performance goes, I have not…
I haven't gotten any conflict messages. I think the problem is with my QEMM setup which may now be resolved. Thanks for your assistance… phil
Jack: Thanks for your comments. The phillips drive is VERY slow as a reader, so there's even less reason to network it!
Laszlo: Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can squeeze the 604 setup into my budget.
Hi, For what it's worth, I had sort of similar problems with my Future Domain SCSI and a NEC CD-ROM drive. What looks like memory problems and freeze-ups is really a termination problem (SCSI interface problem) between the drive and the controller. I found this out after many days of…
#Syquest/Adaptec SCSI
Message #87469
Hello again collegues, I later put in my Adaptec 1542b card and am getting either a parity error 1 or the system freezes in my config.sys when the Corel ASPIDRV.sys is activated. it sees the card and identifys the id and such but stops at the version # and freezes…
CTBACKUP problem
Message #87418
So … I just got a copy a Corel SCSI v1.2b. The hardware is an AMI EISA DX2/66 with AMI Fast Cache EISA SCSI controller, HP DAT tape, Seagate ST1480N, and Toshiba 3401B. Installation for DOS went OK and I can read the CDROM using corelcdx. I cannot install the…
No problem Laszlo, no apology necessary. Sometimes the right hand gets going without the left hand knowing and the juggling act gets a little out of sync. Customer Service has offered to send me the updated drivers. All will be well soon. I have a new system waiting to be…
Hi, I haven't had a chance to uninstall Multimedia Extensions yet, BUT if the bernoulli then works, does this mean I cannot have MM/2 extensions AND have the bernoulli work? Victor
Laszlo, Thanks for the info! Thomas
Corel drivers for Syques
Message #87398
Hello, I am having problems reading my Syquest cartridge that was formatted using a clients computer system (so that I could transfer an application with changes created on-site). I returned to my office and discovered that the scsi drivers for my Pro Audio 16 board would not recognize the cartridge.…
Help on installation
Message #87392
Eoir, Please note the posted apology in the forum. Sorry for the tardiness of this respnoce. Development for NT will depend on how the operating takes off. Netware 3.12 support as well as Netware 4.0 support should be ready near the end of December, beginning of January. I hope this…
Michael, If you have Pro, we have a download that will help. If you do not have Pro the download will not work. The file is NETPROF.EXE Password is SPRING @ 9600,8,n,1 (613)-728-4752 That should do it for ya. I hope it helps. Laszlo
Gerhard, CorelSCSI and SCSI Pro have NOT been certified with 3.12. We will have a release of software available at the end of December that supports 3.12 and 4.0. I hope thta this helps. Laszlo
Phil, I've a ton-o-info for ya! 1) Yes, Norton cache should still work. 2) Try running Windows with a /D:FSVX. If this helps, type WIN /? to see what the results are. 3) Devices do not use addresses only controllers. 4) Each SCSI bus is different therefore you can have…
Victor, I have seen this error if the Multimedia extensions are installed. If you have them installed, try un-installing them to see if that makes a difference. Laszlo
Jay, Just got off the phone with the engineer. To confirm, the "INSITE" floptical was not supported under 1.2b. The IOMEGA was. CoreSCSI version 2.0 does support the INSITE floptical. I would check with with our Customer Service section on upgrade policies since you only purchased 1 week ago. Laszlo
Jean-Hugues, The operating system tells us what the next available local drive letter is and we use it. There is no option to switch this using the drivers. You may want to look into the DOS SUBSTITUTE or ASSIGN commands to do this. I hope this helps. Laszlo
John, We have quite a bit of help here on CS . We have Draw, SCSI and Customer Service available. Just come on in to the right area and start firing! The patch program that ships with CorelSCSI will work on DOS 4+,5+,6+. Other than that I have a couple…
Andrew, The 2012, 2011, and CM 4000 controllers from DTC have been certified. This means that we know that they work with our software. This is not to say that the 2022 and 2122 controllers will not. If the cards have an ASPI manager and it is written to SPECIFICATION…
Rich, There is a lot of I/O occuring when an AUDIO CD is playing. This I/O takes up BUS time. You can expect bus delays. This is the way the SCSI specification was designed. A different controller may help a bit, but will not solve the problem entirely, I think.…
Mark, The problem is that something is pointing to an invalid mosaic. Enter the WIN.INI file and search for the section [CorelGraphics4]. Rem this out with semicolons at the front of the line. Save and exit the INI fiel and restart Windows. When it comes up, reinstall the PCD software.…
Det, Here are some common things to check. Maker sure that the DTC controller is not set to SYNC negotiation. The NEC drive will have a problem with this. The version 1.02f is rather old. You can update to the latest driver free of charge plus shipping. Just place a…
Mary, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. If the DRIVE is a DAT, add the line "DRIVEMASK=0" to the end of the WTBACKUP.INI file. If the drive is a QIC, add the same line but use 175 or 174 instead of the…
Peter, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. Try downloading the file NETPROF.EXE from our BBS at 613-728-4752 @ 9600,8,n,1. The password is 'spring'. If you do not have SCSI Pro this will not work. I hope this helps. Laszlo
Merv, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. Sorry 'bout that. For future reference; CorelSCSI version 2.0 will support DOS, Windows, and OS/2 for (RW, MF, WORM, CD, TAPE, SCANNERs, PRINTERS and CD ROM RECORDERS.) Corel Network manager will support Netware for (RW,…
Jack, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. I was talking with management for CS yesterday. They are taking order @ 1-800-836-7274. As for a unique identity, I finally have my own name and account. ….The dreaded paper trail slowed it down….Thanks for…
Dave, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. Depending on the nature of the questions asked, the technical aspect msut be approached first. The customer service representatives have their hands full with marketing, upgrade and pricing duties and are reall not well suited…
Ronald, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. Try downloading the file UNIV.EXE from our BBS 2 613-728-4752 @ 9600,8,n,1. The password is taxes. Some full CD ROMs may be a problem. Current shipping version have this fix. (SCSI Pro and 1.2b) I…
Robert, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. The LS2000's bios or our drivers on their own can only support HD up to 1 GB! The driver can support > 1 GB if you split the drive into multiple volumes, and use the…
