- This README file describes some troubleshooting tips for PowerSCSI! (TM)-NEC
- Version 1.0.
-
- ===============
- Troubleshooting
- ===============
-
- 1) If you plan to install other drivers after you have installed
- PowerSCSI! (TM), be sure that those drivers are not trying to
- control the same device that PowerSCSI! (TM) drivers control. Also,
- for CDROM users, make sure that the CDROM driver (FDCD.SYS) is the
- last driver loaded in your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- 2) If you run PowerSCSI! under Windows, remove FDBIOS and install the
- Windisk (FDSCSI) driver. FDBIOS is recommended only for the DOS
- environment.
-
- 3) If you experience problems loading FDBIOS when QEMM is loaded,
- disable the Stealth feature of QEMM.
-
- 4) If you experience erratic mouse movements, use another COM port or
- mouse port. You may also try configuring your Future Domain SCSI
- Controller to another IRQ.
-
- 5) If you are using SYTOS Plus with a Future Domain 7000EX SCSI
- Controller, you must download a special version of the ASPIFCAM
- driver from Future Domain's BBS at (714) 253-0432.
-
- 6) On some computers, there are problems after exiting Windows if the
- SCSI Controller is set to IRQ 15. The problems are:
-
- - The floppy cannot be accessed and will report 'Abort, Retry, Fail'.
- - If Windows has access to a Network, the system will crash when
- exiting Windows.
-
- Reconfiguring your SCSI Controller to another IRQ will alleviate
- this problem.
-
- 7) If you have multiple Future Domain SCSI Controllers and you wish to
- enable WINDISK (FDSCSI) support on all fixed disks in the system, it
- is required that all fixed disks be connected to the first SCSI
- Controller seen by the system.
-
- 8) If you are unable to use IRQ 14 when WINDISK (FDSCSI) is loaded, add
- the following line to the [386 Enh] Section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
-
- VirtualHDIrq = OFF
-
- 9) If you are using a Diamond Speed Star Graphics Adapter under Windows,
- add the following lines to the [386 Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI
- file:
-
- FDSCSIMessageMode = OFF
- FCAMMessageMode = OFF
-
- 10) If you experience problems using Tape Backup programs when SMARTDRV
- is loaded, disable caching on the drive that you're running the Tape
- Backup software from, the drive you're backing up, and the drive
- you're restoring to.
