I'm using (or trying to use) an Adaptec 1540B/42B SCSI controller with NEC
84. It would run OK (could do a directory of a loaded CD-ROM). If I tried
to install 1-2-3 windows w/ multimedia help (from Program manager, File Run
D:INSTALL) it would flash the drive light a few times and then give an
insufficient memory error message. Using Grolliers I could access text for
a seemingly unlimited time, but some images would cause an error. After
either of these errors, if I tried a directory of D: I'd get the CDR-101
error message. Occasionally the system would hang.
ASPI4DOS and ASWCDNEC are loaded as devices in my CONFIG.SYS. I don't have
any documentation on ASWCDNEC, taht's something my reseller came up with.
I couldn't get it to work. I also bought, in the box, an NEC 74 and NEC
SCSI board. I installed that per NEC's instructions and it works fine
(took out he ADAPTEC & NEC 84)
Can you please give me some info on your configuration? Do you use
ASWCDNEC? Do you have any info on the parameters used with this driver?
Thanks.
