Looking forward to hearing from you …

Ian,
I just called a distributor of Corel in the UK, and they said that the
Drive that comes in the bundle is the Toshiba 3300, which is exactly the
one I am using with the Adaptec. So rest assured – if this is the drive you
are getting, then it definately works with the Adaptec.
I hope this cheers you up.
Anyway. Just for the record, I have ordered a Kit for myself, so I will let
you know more (if you want) when I get it by the end of the week
(hopefully).
Regards
Costas
Costas:
Yes, I'd appreciate any information about how you attached the CD-ROM to
the Adaptec 1542b and what you had to change (Autoexec.bat, config.sys,
etc.) to get it cooking. <g>
Thanks
Ian
Dear Ian,
I enclose my autoexec and config files. As for attaching the drive, I just
installed a triple end SCSI cable instead of the normal two way one (in
order to connect a disk, the CD and the controller), and followed the
instructions (ie one terminator installed at the end of the SCSI chain) and
thats basically it. Now you might have a different configuration, so if you
have any problems with it, just send me a E-mail and I will try to help you
(if I can).

Costas, Just wondering why, if you use the umb files utility to allow
plenty of files while reducing conventional memory file overhead, you set
20 in config. I run it at 8 in config and then add 52 in UMB. Rich
Well, that is basically because sometimes I tend to have more than 50 files
open in Windows (I do a lot of cut and paste when I work in Corel. And its
much safer too, because I had some configuration problems some months ago,
and I couldn't load anything in the Upper blocks, so I left files=30 just
to be safe (in case UMBfiles didn't work).

Costas:
Yes, thanks!
Ian
No problem. Let me know if you need anything else.
And good luck.!!
