Hello all,
I've never had this situation before, but lately I've gotten my SSD IDE drive working with a slaved Compact Flash drive (both around 512Mb) on a 386 motherboard (no secondary IDE channels) using DOS 6.22 and now when the Adaptec BIOS goes through INIT it finds all my devices (an SCSI2SD, CDROM, Zip100, and a Syquest 88Mb drive) it will not mount the hard disk (BIOS not installed - no INT 13H devices found). When the computer boots, I can get the CDROM drivers loaded. Since my SCSI cable failed, I have a 3 device one now, but in the past I was able to mount the Syquest to a drive letter and read things from it.
How do I mount the SCSI2SD drive as, say, E:\ or something?
90% of the time, the computer will boot from the 512Mb SSD IDE drive, and the SCSI2SD will be initialized by the SCSI BIOS as D:\, but occasionally I want to have the CF drive in there to copy stuff over. I have devised a boot disk for this. Various SCSI utilities see the drive and partition information, but how to mount it? ASPI? I do have it in my CONFIG.SYS, it sees ID#0, but doesn't do anything about it. Later, ASPICD.SYS (in conjunction with an MSCDEX command) mounts the CDROM.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing a basic step.
