      In a message dated 05-31-15, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:              GM Ed,               HG> What I find odd is that the SyQuest drive is shown as #0.        HG> Usually drive 0 is the boot drive and in a mixed IDE / SCSI        HG> setup that is always C: on an IDE drive.              EV> My boot drive isn't a SCSI drive so the SCSI Adapter isn't the first       EV> to be used on boot.              I know that and that was what I wrote above!               HG> Maybe the name is Adaptec. I've never heard of SCSI drivers        HG> made by Advance.              EV> No, its not Adaptec unless Adaptec bought out Advanced System       EV> Products.              OK. I don't recall that name among the SCSI controller manufacturers but       I don't know everything.              EV> I think the adapter is at least equal to Adaptec SCSI adapters since       EV> I see the numbers 0 and 7 when the adapter starts up.              Those numbers have nothing to do with the make of the controller.              EV> I'm fairly sure this adapter would accept 6 more SCSI devices if I       EV> set them to any of the 1 through 6 unused numbers.              Most do but I really don't know what limits there are in the simplest       controllers.              EV> I do read lots of Wikipedia pages, and that's O.K. up to a point       EV> since the pages are written by volunteers, and sometimes what I read       EV> there isn't what I know to be true.              That is the problem with Wikipedia and limits the usefulness of it as a       knowledge base/source.                     73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * ......................
