At John Brown, re: the drive.
I'll say four words that should be all the excuse/reason required to explain the nature of their inability to get it working properly: SCSI card IRQ conflict.
I noted it was set to the same as another card mentioned in the AutoExec.Bat file, but the card the entry related to was not installed in the system - the computer was reserving it for that card anyway, thus the SCSI drive controller card was up shit creek when attempting to initialize.
Pulling the card+drive & putting it in another machine might have worked IF anyone had bothered to edit the AE.B file to no longer include the aforementioned entry.
Want to guess if any of them bothered?
I'll give you three guesses & the first two don't count. =-Jp
I REM'd out the entry, rebooted, & vroom - one working system.
I was irked (I almost wrote IRQ'd) about getting taken advantage of, but Karma had the last laugh.
About a month later the place went out of business as their accountant had taken a runner with the balance in the corporate bank account.
Oh darn, no love lost from me - nope a nope a nope! =-)
