Thanks for the advice, that was the first half of the problem...
Now It does not hang, and if I look in the registry, it has
(under hardware/scsi) scsi bus 0, with the T128 card as id 7,
and an NEC 84 ver 1.0 as id 1 (finally!), but I don't get an 
extra drive (E:) and it keeps saying that no scsi device is 
present... Do I have to do anything else to get it to recognize 
CD-ROM ? It would be nice if Trantor supplied the oemsetup.inf file
so that the automagic installation under setup would work...
Was your recognized automatically ? Should the id be different ?

Also, has anyone been using the XLIB for NT from ftp.uu.net ?
It worked after tuning out a few hundred warnings, but I can't
get the exit code to work, you have to reboot the machine to kill 
the X-Windows program.  I'll have to look into it further, just
curious if anybody else has seen it...

                        -Have a nice day-
                               -Jim.
