I just tried the 1.5 demodisk on my brand new 386 with a DTC3280A SCSI controller and a ST1096N disk. Expecting failure I tried to make a file system on an empty partition and SUCCEEDED! Now why is that? I was under the impression (solely from reading this group) that a special SCSI driver was needed. Is it not SCSI after all? Does anyone have any knowledge about this? Will it also work when I buy the PH distribution? Any hints ? Niels dingbat@freja.diku.dk

Will it also work when I buy the PH distribution? The DEMO disk distribution uses the BIOS-based winichester driver :-) So, the demo is useless to find out whether it will run on your particular "Foo Bar Corp Turbo Controller"... Fred.
