Todd, Get some sleep. The FDC driver does wil not attempt to support the TEAC drive because the "Inquiry Data" string returned by the drive does not match the lookup table that the driver uses. I suggest that you contact either Corel or TEAC for an ASPI or CAM driver.…
Jon, Sounds like a unique problem. I suggest that you disable any "Shadowing" in the computer's CMOS setup that are for the area that the SCSI adapter uses. Rob.
Jean, Running bare DOS, none of the Future Domain SCSI adapters require a hardware IRQ setting. The Windows 3.1 Fastdisk, and the OS2 2.x drivers do require an IRQ. There is a wide variety to choose from on the 16-bit adapters. I believe you can choose from 3, 5, 10,…
Kieron, I would try starting MS Windows in Standard mode duting the installation. This can be done by typing WIN /S rather than WIN. Rob.
Stephen, The TMC-950 SCSI chip that is used on your sound card is a memory mapped chip. One problem with expanded memory managers is that they may try to use the area that the SCSI chip uses for data transfer. You should use the EMM386 exclude statement to stop EMM…
Jean, The TMC-845 board should work fine with the OS2 2.x driver, FD8xx.ADD. This driver does require a hardware IRQ for the adapter. The board can use either IRQ 3 or 5. If there is another device in the system configured for the same IRQ, the system will not work…

Adaptec/Future Domain?

Hello Jean, I work for FD TS. However, I am visiting this forum on my own time. If you have any specific questions related to their products, I may be able to help. Feel free to send them to my Compuserve account number. RJ.
Hello Bill The problem you are having could be caused by not loading the proper version of MSCDEX.EXE. Check your autoexec.bat file and make sure that the path for the file MSCDEX points to the DOS directory. This should enable the new version (2.2) of MSCDEX that should have shipped…
Hello Steve, I do not know how to get the drive working with DOS. Although you should be able to use it wiht OS2 2.1. You should contact IBM to see if they have any ideas on the subject. OS2 2.1 has built in software support for the NEC drive.…
