Greetings onto the net! For some time now I am trying to find out which SCSI controllers are on the market that can be used with HPFS. Besides getting frustrated about really unknowing dealers (at least here in Germany) I was not able to figure out anything productive. So here is my last desperate attempt: Does anybody know about a SCSI controller that comes with device driver software for OS/2 vs. 1.2 (HPFS) ? Up to now I only know of DPT SmartConnex that offers a MFM simulation mode. But this one is really expensive (at least in Germany). Anybody who can help ?

The WD 7000 controller&software contains an OS/2 driver. I did not yet see it but a dealer told me this. In the basedd01.sys of my IBM OS/2 1.2 I found a device driver named SCSIXPT$ which causes me to assume that it already supports a SCSI controller, probably only the IBM one. Does anyone know which brand this IBM SCSI controller is or if it is their own contruction? Kai Uwe Rommel -- /* Kai Uwe Rommel * Munich * rommel@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de */

IBM have their own SCSI controller, but I have heard a rumour thabecause of some problems with their own controller, they OEMed a NCR controller. I don't know if this is true, but I know IBM had some serious problems with their own SCSI controller, making them actually stop and withdraw already released/sold machines.
