   Why do you panic?   
      
   EV> What I see is like this:   
      
   EV> 0  SyQuest drive   
   EV> 1   
   EV> 7  Adapter Card   
      
   EV> I see this extra device number show up once a week at least, when   
   EV> the xp box is turned on.   
      
   Does that extra drive displayed do any harm if you let the machine boot   
   with that number displayed?   
      
   What I find odd is that the SyQuest drive is shown as #0. Usually drive   
   0 is the boot drive and in a mixed IDE / SCSI setup that is always C: on   
   an IDE drive.   
      
   EV> I can't recall what name is shown along side #1.   
      
   That would be important.   
      
   EV> Is there any place on the internet that You can give me to learn   
   EV> about SCSI stuff?   
      
   EV> Off the top of my head I think the Adapter is made by Advance.   
      
   Maybe the name is Adaptec. I've never heard of SCSI drivers made by   
   Advance. When you buy an Adaptec SCSI controller you also receive three   
   books describing various drivers and uses but I don't recall that there   
   is any SCSI tutorial.   
      
   I know that the SCSI controller you have is a very simple one intended   
   just for a SyQuest drive, not a general purpose controller.   
      
   OTOH, I suppose you don't need a tutorial to use IDE controllers for   
   your HDDs.
