#Best SCSI Adapter
7 messages in this thread
Hi Steve,
That doesn't make sense to me either. Refresh me…does the CD run off of
the Adaptec or the Sound Blaster Pro? If it runs off of the Adaptec, make sure
you have the CD-ROM Utility kit from them that includes the CD drivers for the
respective drives.
I would also check to ensure that you have the latest version of MSCDEX. I
believe that is 2.21 and can be downloaded from CIS.
Doesn't sound too cool about NorthGate. You might want to go over to the
IBMHW forum and post a couple of messages there too.

Randy,
The CD Runs off the Adaptech Card. The Problem is with NorthGate. They
say their ISA Boxes Won't do BusMastering. Last Weekend I went and got the
Trantor SCSI card the NEC uses. It doesn't do busmastering and my CD problem
went away. I also down loaded from Trantor their NT driver for the card and
that worked fine too. My MSCDEX driver is 2.21 too. I'll check out the IBMHW
forum and see if there's anything up there……. Thanks for getting back to
me….
P.S.
In the end I'm just disgusted with NORTHGATE and WON'T EVER BUY OR
RECOMMEND ONE TO ANYONE AGAIN.
Steve
PMJI, but I need to get hold of Trantor. Do they have a forum or forum section
on CS or did you download from a BBS??
Thanks Mark Curry
Mark,
Sorry I don't know what PMJI is, but anyway I downloaded the NT driver
from trantor…. I left their # at home… I'll get it to you… I don't know
if they're on CS…..

Does anyone know whose motherboard is in the Northgate ISA box that doesn't
allow bus mastering? Micronics?
Stephen, (Pardon My Joining In) Thanx I would appreciate it. I need to get hold
of their driver kit for PS/2's. I also havent a Trantor Forum on CS although I
have from time to time had messages sent to me from Trantor.
