#UltraStor and OS/2 2.1
3 messages in this thread
Sysop and All,
I have an 88 Megabyte SyQuest removable cartridge drive connected to an
UltraStor SCSI controller card. This is on a 486DX-50 with 8 megs of memory
running OS/2 2.1. The problem is that while the driver I am currently using
will correctly work with my 170 meg standard SCSI drive (non-removable), it
will not correctly deal with the SyQuest drive. I can access the drive, but it
reports it as being 30 megs and will not allow me to access files that I know
are on the drive. The only driver files I can find for OS/2 which came with
either the controller card or the SyQuest drive itself are for OS/2 1.x.
Is there any way I can get these 1.x drivers to work with 2.1? If not, which I
suspect is the case, is there someplace on CompuServe I can find the latest
drivers for this card or perhaps a generic driver for SCSI removable drives
that will allow me to start using this drive? As you can imagine, loosing an 88
meg chunk of disk space is a painful experience. <g>
I have asked this question in the OS/2 forums as well, but thought someone here
might have some insight as many hardware drivers seem to be stored in the
libraries here.
Thanks in advance!

Corel sells a SCSI interface package called "Corel SCSI". I use it to access
my SyQuest drive under DOS and OS/2. You need an ASPI driver from your adapter
manufacture (UltraStor) to provide the ASPI interface.
