- Hi,
-
- I just bought a 1.2gig SCSI drive and Adaptec controller. I also have
- a NEC CDR84 CD-ROM drive.
-
- I would like to get all these working with minimum hassle. However, when
- I add "BASEDEV=154X.ADD" to config.sys, I can no longer boot OS/2. Inspection
- seems to indicate that the SCSI drive (which has an already formatted DOS
- partition on it) is being "inserted" before my OS/2 partition, causing the
- drive letter to get changed. Now, I could boot from floppy, edit my config.sys
- to reflect the new drive letter, and then things should work, right? But
- is there an easier way? I'd like to put the scsi drives at any arbitrary
- drive letter.
-
- Any help, public or e-mail, would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
