I have, for some time, been running into problems with TSR programs using interrupts in the area around int 60h. According to the latest interrup.lst release (inter490.zip), these interrupts are used by Adaptec controllers, one of which I have. Short of recoding those TSRs which use int 60h+ (and excluding major hardware alterations--like a controller replacement :-), is there a way of allowing these programs to run properly?

In both the Adaptec 2372A & 2372B controllers there is a way to disable the use of Int 60-67. Using DEBUG enter g=c800:5 to access the controller BIOS. Choose option 3 - Special options, then choose 4 - Option to generate Adaptec auto-configuration device drive. Type a file name and place a line in your config.sys that states device = [filename]. I'm showing how it's done on the 2372B, the 2372A should be close.) This will force the controller to use the standard DOS Int of 41 and 46 to point to the drive parameter table. -- ******************************************************************************** Disclaimer: My company knows not what I say (or do).
