   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.
