-
- I have a Buslogic 747s EISA SCSI II controller.
-
- I too have a device line similar to yours, using the ASPI device
- manager supplied by Buslogic called BTDOSM.SYS.
-
- I would like to know, whether I need to double buffer in my
- situation. In fact I use NCACHE from Norton Utilities, and I guess
- that the answer will be similar to that for smartdrive (true?).
-
- Also tell me more about not needing a cashe at all if you have an
- ASPI manager? This i sthe first I hear of this. Is this true of all
- ASPI managers, or only those supplied by Adaptec?
-
- Thank you very much for the help.
