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. Rene Andersson
