Adaptec host adapter
I have a problem with the following setup. A 486/33 with 16 MB RAM, AMI
BIOS. I have installed an Adaptec AHA-154XB SCSI card with all settings at
factory default. To this card I want to attach a Pinnacle Micro Magneto
optical drive REO-130S and a Texel DM-3024 CD-ROM drive. I have included
ASPI4DOS.SYS and ASPIDISK.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS file. But on boot up I get
an error message before the drivers in CONFIG.SYS starts to load. The
message flashes by, but seem to state "Host adapter not found". Later on
when CONFIG.SYS starts to run neither of the SCSI related drivers are
loaded. Thus when I try to run AFDISK.EXE it informs me that it can't be
done because the ASPIMANAGER isn't loaded. Can I get out of this dilemma?
Also, there is no CD-ROM driver included in the disk with the adaptec card?
How do I get one? None was supplied with the Texel.
