SCSI:
cards I have:
2x Adaptec AHA-2940UW
1x Tekram DC-350UW
Drivers are loaded and present on all Windows cds (98SE/2K/XP).
Behaviour:
1) will work only if I use floppy to boot Win installation, otherwise from CD it'll hang at scanning hardware
2) will copy to target HD but upon reboot to finish installation from HD it'll freeze (I waited 20 minutes while doing other and stuck on there)
3) removing SCSI and swapping to an IDE CD-rom drive will work fine and finish installing
4) I don't have a SCSI converter to use CD-rom with onboard SCSI but I'll pass on that.
Solution: floppy disks + IDE CD-rom; moving to another project.
Edit:
OS I installed successfully:
- Windows 98 SE
- Windows 2K Pro SP4
- Windows XP SP2 (FutureMark 2002 is slower by a 10-5% both cpu and ram tests)
In WXP onboard SCSI works perfectly well.
