Hi, I just bought an DEC3160S 1.6Gig disk drive and am trying to get it to work with the LS2000 that I got with my Corel Blockbuster pack. I have made some progress (like it knows there is a drive "F:" where the new drive is located) but when I try to format or copy to it I get a "Drive not ready" message or "Cannot format a network drive". Hmmmm. Other things I have noticed: 1. Using the INSTALL program that came with the Corel package gives me a list of drives, but none of the choices include the drive I have. In fact, they all look like WORM drives. 2. I could not find any documentation on the CUNI_ASP.SYS or UNI_ASP.SYS drivers. 3. The documentation for the ASPILS_D.SYS driver says to put in parms for specifying the SCSI address as "/ID:0+1", but when I do the program says they are invalid and the format is "/LS2000,D800,3" . Huh? I guess that's enough of a set of questions to see if this mechanism really works for getting answers. Thanks. Bob.

Bob: I'm sure that the sysop will forward your message, but for your reference Corel SCSI is supported in Section 3 of the forum. Section Leaders rarely travel between forums, but will get messages to them if addressed: -Section 3 – CorelSCSI! Bryan Shearer(SL)….72350,2234 -Ed

Robert, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. The LS2000's bios or our drivers on their own can only support HD up to 1 GB! The driver can support > 1 GB if you split the drive into multiple volumes, and use the size switch. On the UNI_ASP.SYS driver line try using the following switches. /VOL:x /SIZE:y values for x are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 values for y are 2,3,4,5,6 One of these combinations should work. Each time, try to format the drive. If the drive is set for ID 0 or 1, but you are controlling it with the drivers, ensure that the bios is disabled. I hope this helps. Laszlo
