I just installed CorelSCSI 1.2b on my system which is: 486/66 EISA ULTRSTOR-24F SCSI/EISA controller 32MB Ram ATI-MACH 32 video card NEC CDR-84 CDROM HP Scanjet-IIC 1.2gb Hard drive 3.4mb Hard drive Mediavision Pro Audio Spectrum 16tp Netware 3.11/Intel ETHEREXPRESS 16tp NIC DOS 6.2 SYSTEM.INI [386Enhanced]: EMMEXCLUDE A000-FFFF A couple of questions… Prior to installation, I had Microsoft's SmartDrv double buffer statement in the config.sys. I am using Norton's new SPEEDRIVE disk cache program. This included the ability to cache the CDROM by the addition of a driver in the CONFIG.SYS just after the CDROM drivers. 1) Now that I'm using COREL SCSI, can I still use the NORTON Cache program to cache the CDROM? 2) Just after installation, Windows would not load in enhanced mode. I moved the Corel CORELCDX from the top to just after the network drivers (per a thread here…) and it seems to work. Should this prove stable (as much as a computer can be.. grin)? 3) Previously the CDROM was on a Mediavision Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card with a address of CC00. During the EISA setup on this computer, it asked for a address so I gave it CC00. I thought the CDROM could use the same address as the ULTRA-24F (currently D000-D3ff). Can you 'educate me? 4) Is the SCSI port on the Mediavison PAS16 still in existance (thereby a source of conflict)? Thanks much for your assistance. Phil Timmerman ps: Windows just crashed after saving this to a text file with a read access error of some sort. Don't know what it was for sure
