I try to run the SCSICNTL.EXE program on my 1542B, without success. Is SCSICNTL.EXE compatible with the 1542B, or only with 1542A ? Or is my motherboard (25MHz 486 micronics) incompatible with SCSICNTL.EXE ? I run version 5.3 of SCSICNTL.EXE, and as soon as I get the version information I get a message: GENERAL ERROR Could not get local inquiry data from the adapter Press <ENTER> to continue. After my <ENTER>, I get the message Cleaning up the SCSI bus and the program terminates. ALL settings on the 1542B have their default value (330h, IRQ11, etc). The SETSCSI.EXE program seems to work. I have a Wren IV drive. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for the help. sarantos sarantos@princeton.edu

I have attempted to get this program from adaptex, but the last time I tried
this the system didn't answer the phone.
Does anyone have the current site information for adaptex, such as the NUUCP

We've run SCSICNTL.EXE on a 1542B (8MHz 80286). However, SCSICNTL won't run on our ALR Flexcache 33/386 with a 1542A. It appears that some motherboards confuse the program.

I am working on a newer version that will hopefully take care of all the timing issues with these faster machines. I finally got a hold of a 486 to use and so V5.4 will have this problem corrected. It is a timing issue. Roy Neese Adaptec Senior SCSI Applications Engineer UUCP @ neese@adaptex uunet!cs.utexas.edu!utacfd! {nominil,merch,cpe}!adaptex!neese uunet!mlite!adaptex!neese

Further anent the 154[02][AB]: Is there any a penurious support shop (mine) can easily use a single 386/33 + 154[02][AB] + 600MB drive to be able to support the three operating systems DOS+WINDOWS, ESIX, and SCO? There is no reasonable way to fit (financially or physically) three different systems in my office and so I would like to use the one tower, partitioned appropriately, to support all three operating systems. The FASST 7000 controller has such a capability builtin to the ROM BIOS on the card, but it is not supported by ESIX. Any assistance (code, impossibility proofs, techniques, etc) will be greatly and gratefully appreciated.
