[comp.os.os2.misc] IBM-OS/2 1.3 & AHA1542

news@mcshh.hanse.de (News Administrator) (06/13/91)

Hi folks !
I have a problem concerning Adaptec AHA1542 with IBM-OS/2 1.3.

I have recently purchased a SCSI-Controller with a BIG Disk, to
speed up my OS/2 system. Unfortunately, I have not taken into
account, that IBM doesn't support third party controller.

Now I'm sitting here with my IBM-OS/2 1.3 and can't access my new
Disk. I have heard, that MS-OS/2 1.3 supports the AHA1542.

Does anybody know a solution to my problem ???
(Other than buying MS-OS/2)

Every help highly appreciating
Michael

Something's wrong. We get between 100 KB/sec and 150 KB/sec on sustained
writes to 
a filesystem on Suns, DECstations, SGI. It could be > 200 Kb/sec on raw
device writes.
What system are you running it on ? What drivers are you using ?.
