HELP! I have an Adaptec 1542B with a Wren V 94181-385H SCSI drive. The Wren V is shipped with the read ahead buffer turned off. I would like to turn it on to improve disk access speeds. Seagate tells me to contact the controller manufacturer for an interface program that works with their controller. So I called Adaptec. 6 times! Six different voice mail machines later I finally talk to someone. I tell him what I need. I said I need the program called SCSICTRL.EXE written by Roy Neese at Adaptec in order to fully utilize the controller/drive combination I have. "not a supported program" was the answer. Fine tell me what program is supported so I can use this expensive combination and justify it's purchase price. Wasted my time. So.... Has *ANYONE* out there got a copy of SCSICTRL.EXE that you can send me or tell me how to get? I am about at the end of my rope! My boss is asking me where is the speed increase you said I would see!!! Please help me find this program!? Thanks in advance. --Jay -- Jay Curtis jcurtis@simasd.UUCP {nosc;ncr-sd;ucsd;}!simasd!jcurtis Of course my opinions are my own... Who would let me speak for them?!

The system I used to use to get to uunet has gone away and I just got back online so haven't been able to find the path yet.
