- I need to know how to get the ASPI driver to work with my SCSI stuff and
- still be able to boot off of my IDE hard drive.
-
- I have a PS2 (model 70) running only OS/2 2.0 which boots off of the internal
- IDE hard drive (only one partition on it). I also have the Adaptec AHA-1640
- SCSI host adapter. Off of this I have a 300 meg SCSI drive and an Exabyte 8200
- SCSI tape drive. I dissabled the BIOS on the Adaptec so that the system boots
- of the IDE, as it should. My problem is that the system hangs when it gets
- to reading the config.sys file IF the file has a reference to the ASPI driver.
- I have gotten the SCSI hard to work with the IDE drive but I can't use the
- tape drive until I can use the ASPI driver because I MUST run gnutar (gtak)
- to make tape for unix machines.
-
- How should I set up my config.sys (the BASEDEV lines) to get the ASPI driver
- to work. Here's the relavant parts of what I have:
-
- BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
- BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD
- BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
- BASEDEV=AHA164X.ADD
- rem BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD
- BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
-
- As soon as I uncomment the ASPI line I the system hangs on boot.
-
- I know this should work because I got our DELL 486 to work but it didn't
- have an IDE hard drive, just SCSI. It had on SCSI drive and one SCSI tape
- drive and the ASPI stuff installed just fine. I even got the gtak pakage
- to work just fine.
-
- Any ideas, suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Please email me
- responses and I can post the solution(s) when it is all figured out.
-
- Thanks,
- Peter
