   The Adapter Card is a Advansys SCSI Host Adapter.

   O.K., I will try that when ever I see it happen again.   
   This time I saw the usual 0 and 7 when the XP box came out of   
   hibernation.   
      
    EV> The second time I turn the box on I see just the 0 and 7 numbers.

    ml> is that the above listed Adapter Card?   
      
   Nope, I was only mentioning the only other experience I've had with a   
   8 Bit SCSI Adapter that HP included with the 4c scanner that I had   
   on the motherboard of the 486DX33, not this XP box.   
   Sorry for the confusion.   
      
    EV> I can only remember that the scanner was device #2.   
    EV> I never noticed it trying to access a additional device number like I'm

    ml> it may not try to access it at all until you go to use whatever   
    ml> device it may be...   
      
   #2 was the number given to the HP 4c when I was using it on the 486.

    ml> what do you want to learn about it?   
      
   What would cause a extra device number to appear sometimes on the   
   Advansys card display of devices when I'm booting the XP box?????????   
      
    EV> Off the top of my head I think the Adapter is made by Advance.   
    EV> Thanks.   
      
   I was close enuf on the name, wasn't I?   
   I know close is not enough as far as a computer is concerned, One   
   Misplaced BIT and BANG!!!!!!!!!! Nothing works.   
      
    ml> ok and no problem :)

   The Virtual Clone Drive software also shows up with the Advansys SCSI   
   card when I looked at the Hardware Manager.   
   And that "Drive" isn't mentioned when I am looking at the screen when   
   I start this computer.   
   I see it in Windows Explorer, that's all.   
      
   I could Remove the Virtual Clone Drive since I never have found any   
   need for it.   
   It was just one of those utilities I heard about the first year or two   
   that I had this XP box, that I thought that I might need.......
