      In a message dated 09-01-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:              GM Ed,               EV> My EZFlyer 230 drive is a SCSI model and I don't think any files on        EV> the Floppies I got with my Parallel Port device would work with a        EV> regular SCSI Drive that is connect to a SCSI card I got with the        EV> SCSI drive.              Please note: The way the drive is connected to the machine has no       influence on the contents. It is a SCSI drive and whether it's nonnected       directly to a SCSI connector or via a parallel port adapter does not       make the contents more or less readable.              EV> My thinking about why I wrote that is because I've looked at the       EV> Manual and looked at the files in the SCSI section of the SyQUest       EV> files and to me it looked like the programs installed from the 3       EV> Floppy Disk set that came with the EPP Parallel Port EZ135 drive       EV> were made to be used when connecting the EPP drive to a pc that had       EV> a SCSI connection using a SyQuest Parallel to SCSI adapter that they       EV> sold.              I know nothing about files needed for a "simulated" SCSI connection.              According to the Adaptec manual the only file needed for connection to       a SyQuest or Bernuilly drive is the ASPIDISK.SYS.              EV> I think I need the files for a SyQuest SCSI drive installation so my       EV> EZFlyer can use their Backup Program to Restore the last backup I              Start by inserting the aspidisk.sys in your config.sys. If that doesn't       work, then consider other methods. Nothing will be destroyed.              EV> There were a couple of aspi files in IBM PC-DOS 7.0's DOS/DATA       EV> directory that I had made a copy of on a cartridge a long time ago.       EV> I don't think I can use those though.              Yes I know, aspicd.sys and aspi4dos.sys but they will not help you.              EV> The EZFlyer SCSI drive came with a PCI card and SCSI cable for the       EV> drive and when I BOOT the XP box I see the Drive is number 0 and the       EV> Adapter is #7 .              The drive number 0 is the boot drive. Maybe your EzFlyer wants to be       used as a boot drive!!! Drive 1 is usually a second HD and numbers 2 - 6       are generally free for other types of drives.              CU L8ER, Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?              --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
