Summary: windows, scsi

I was surprised by a recent posting about difficulties with
an Adaptec SCSI card and Windows. I assumed Adaptec was
a kinda-sorta standard.

For those with SCSI cards and running Windows flawlessly:
can you describe your system.

I have a Micronics motherboard with an RLL controller with
2 hard drives already.

Thanks. e-mail please.

  I currently have a DTK 386/25 computer with 44 meg Seagate IDE drive
, a 3.5 inch high cdensity flopy drive, and a 5.25 inch high density
floppy drive.  My roommate is a comp. sci. major and got an old IBM
RT from the school for free and we want to try to use some of the 
equipment from the RT in our AT clones.  My problem is this:

The RT has about 700 megs of old full-height IBM hard Drives using an
ESDI interface.  I have been able to get the floppy controller of the 
ESDI interface to work, but not the hard drive controller.  I need
to know what BIOS setting I would use for the hard drives (I think they are 
an E70 or something like that), whether I can run two drive controllers at the
same time, whether the Extended ESDI interface will even work, and if it is 
possible to have more than two hard drives configured when my BIOS (DTK BIOS)
setup program only seems to allow two.  I know these drives are slow, but they
are also very large and free.  Alternately, is it possible to set up an ESDI
drive to run of of an IDE interface.

I would prefer responses by e-mail to rhofmann@darwin.cc.nd.edu
and thanks for any help.

Very nice picture ... sharp. contrasty, non-distorted.

I love it. Only problem is that the Sony's are in the stone
age as far as autosizing and autocentering in SVGA modes. If
your video card can be configured to perform the sizing/centering
using a TSR or setup program, this should not be a problem.

The Hercules card is an 8 bit card which happens to live in the same 128k
address space block as your (assumed) VGA card. This forces the VGA card
to work in 8 bit (as opposed to 16 bit) mode. This is due to the Hercules
seeing all access to the VGA memory and indicating that the memory access's
are in 16bit mode.

Don't know that you can without hardware surgery (a Soldering Iron).

The video signals through the serial port? Answer no.

You may be able to use the serial port for serial debugging, I think that
Borland's Turbo Debugger allows this but I don't know about MS C7.

Yes, see above.

Maybe, but would probably have to me some sort of 'Non Standard'

Isn't the VESA local bus standard limited to 40MHz for plug-in cards? 
(but hard-wired local-bus stuff on the motherboard can go up to 66MHz?)
Wouln't this be a problem in a true 50MHz machine?  In this case a DX280
(if one were ever produced) would be the highest speed you could have without
causing problems.

Since the original poster asked about 386SX boards, 2 SIMMs is a bank. If
you want to run 16 bits wide, just get a 386SX. My 386SX-40 runs as fast
as a 386DX-33 so you don't give up too much performance.

I am using an ultrastor 34F SCSI controller with a MediaVision sound card. And

which is the MediaVision Proaudio Spec card. Does anyone know if I can specify
an address for the SCSI driver from MediaVision or another SCSI driver for

These groups hierachies started long BEFORE 'PC' started to include non-IBM
machines like the Mac, Lisa, Apple IIGS, etc, but I get your point.
The problem is that 'PC' by itself has STOPPED being a synimum(sp) for IBM.
How many products are labeled 'PC compatable' as opposed to 'IBM compatable'.
Very few.  PC means a personal computer; computer designed to be used
by one person (Dictionary of Computer Terms 3rd edition) it does NOT mean
IBM compatable.
I am worried that JUST pc will result in a small influx of Amiga and AppleII
people since those machinces are ALSO called 'PCs' and a latter influx of
the PowerPC crowd.
I personly believe that a group should clearly and
consisely state what it is about {epesially if the FAQ on the groups is
somewhat irregular in posting.}  May be .pc.clone. would be better then
.ibm.pc.  though JUST .pc. is NOT a good idea.

I'm using a CONTAQ/UMC VESA motherboard with a 66MHz DX2, Orchid Fahrenheit
VLB video card, UltraStor 34F LB SCSI.

I've had several problems - In windows I get lines left on the screen from
dragging large windows or cut boxes in Paint, occasionally areas of the
screen are filled with a pattern of dots, the mouse cursor occasionally
aquires a box that moves with it. Orchid claims this is a known UMC problem.

I have no problems with the disk or internal CD in windows or DOS, however
I have not yet been able to install NT yet. UltraStor is currently
looking into this.

I have had good success with Norton Backup also with my CMS 250. This was part
of Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0. 

My only problem is that it takes nearly 2 hours to format a 2120 tape. 
Backing up about 200 MB takes much less than that.
