   SCSI Adapter Startup   
   26 May 15 21:38:00   
   
   Howdy! Mark,   
      
   I watch the screen when I turn the xp box on.   
      
   Since I've added the SyQuest SCSI drive usually I will see the SCSI   
   Adapter that came with it show 0 (Zero) is given to the SyQuest drive   
   and the adapter always gets a 7.   
      
   I panic when I see an extra SCSI device number in the start up list and   
   hold the power button until the lights go out, then I turn it on again.   
      
   What I see is like this:   
      
   0  SyQuest drive   
   1    
   7  Adapter Card   
      
   I see this extra device number show up once a week at least, when the   
   xp box is turned on.   
      
   I can't recall what name is shown along side #1.   
      
   The second time I turn the box on I see just the 0 and 7 numbers.   
      
   The HP SCSI Scanner I used on my 486 came with a card that I plugged in   
   to a 8 bit slot.   
      
   I can only remember that the scanner was device #2.   
   I never noticed it trying to access a additional device number like I'm   
   seeing since I started using the SCSI drive.   
      
   Is there any place on the internet that You can give me to learn about   
   SCSI stuff?   
      
   Off the top of my head I think the Adapter is made by Advance.   
   Thanks.
