URGENT! URGENT ! If anyone is using the Trantor SCSI Host Adaptor (which comes with the Texel CD-ROM drive) to control a scsi hard drive, could you please let me know what driver file to use. I have installed a new scsi HD to the adaptor card but I believe I need a special driver to access the new HD. I'm stuck. Alec Jason

Heres' what I've got: Config.sys: Device=c:\tscsi\tslcdr.sys /d:TSLCD Autoexec.bat: c:\tscsi\mscdex /d:TSLCD Also, the tscsi directory is included in the Path of the Autoexec.bat. BUT, don't ask me any technical hardware questions, 'cause I don't know the answers. I just used the installation program that came with the Texel SCSI, and was absolutely amazed when everything worked the first time. I think this is the only time in all the years I've worked with computers that a hardware installation worked the first time. Usually, I have to call up friends, programmers, the company, etc. before the things go. – Jack

Thanks Jack, but what you've given me is for the CD-ROM. My CD-ROM works fine, no problems at all. My question is what the .sys file (or whatever else is needed) to access a NEW SCSI HARD DRIVE ALSO CONNECTED TO THE SAME SCSI CONTROLLER. Do you have a SCSI hard drive connected to your SCSI controller in addition to the CD-ROM? Alec Jason

I've got a SCSI controller running a hard disk and the CD-ROM, and I used to have one running two hard disks and a CD-ROM. The trick is to set the SCSI identifier on the hard disk to 0 (usually the default) and the id on the CD-ROM to 1. That, plus using the correct driver for the CD-ROM, ought to do it for ya. – G PS: I'm looking forward to catching you and 3DS on CNN's Science and Technology Week (again) tomorrow morning at 9:30am!
