hello netland, I am having trouble trying to get my computer to work with a ST01 hard disk controller and a st296N hard drive. The computer is a 386/25 clone with 4 megs of ram using CHIPS & TECHNOLOGIES chip set. The system boots fine from the hard disk under dos 3.3. However, when I boot with an SCO boot disk or Minix, I get the error. ROM BASIC NOT FOUND SYSTEM HALTED I have attemped to use my hard drive and controller on a northgate super micro system. When I tried the SCO unix boot disk , I got the error SYSTEM REBOOT Can the st01 controller work with operating systems other than dos? Is there anyone out there who has had similiar problems? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. thanks Frank Houston

Sco supports only a number of scsi controllers, and I'm pretty sure that the st01/st02 controllers are not included. You should contact sco for a list of supported controllers for whatever version you have. Mark Jeske Informix Software markj@infmx.com
