- I've heard that you have to use both ASPI4DOS.SYS and SCSIHA.SYS if
- you have more than 16MB of RAM (I've heard this regarding the use of a
- RAMDISK if you have more than 16MB RAM, and I assume that this is true
- of Windows also). The SCSIHA.SYS driver can be obtained from Adaptec's
- BBS at (408)-945-7727.
