Hello adaptec spezialists, is there a device driver available, which allows you to use more than 2 scsi fixed disks connected to an adaptec 1542A host adapter. If yes, where can I get it and how much to pay for. Thanks in advance Kai -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kai-Uwe Herbing | phone 49-30-3126145 | I don't claim any Weimarer Strasse 28 | | warranty for tips D-1000 Berlin 12 | herbing@netmbx | tricks, hints and Fed.Rep.of Germany | herbing%netmbx@db0tui6.bitnet | suggestions given -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, it is an adaptec driver that will support multiple controllers, assign logical names to other drives beside c: and d:. As for where to get it I suggest calling adaptec. Their number is in your manual..... +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Brandon Brown | Internet: brando@uicsl.csl.uiuc.edu | | Coordinated Science Laboratory | UUCP: uiucuxc!addamax!brando!brown | | University of Illinois | CompuServe: 73040,447 | | Urbana, IL 61801 | GEnie: xmg23356, macbrando | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Their number is in your >manual..... I suggest a faster & more productive route would be to call the vendor who sold you the controller & get the software. Adaptec won't sell it to you directly unless you are a large OEM. BTW, the software is known as ASW-1410, and can be obtained from a number of distributors, such as CalAbco (where I got mine).
