I am trying to install a SCSI card in my dos rig, but whenever I load the SCSI host adapter driver for DOS, it breaks the soundblaster drivers.
System specs:
80286-12
4 MB RAM
Adaptec AHA-1520A SCSI controller
Soundblaster AWE32
The cards are not having resource conflicts, the SCSI card is set to IRQ 12, and the Soundblaster is set to IRQ 5. When the Adaptec driver loads during the config.sys execution, it results in the soundblaster driver in the Autoexec.bat portion to fail. It returns the error: "dign8002 the blaster environment settings are invalid" None of the soundblaster applications work, but the SCSI card works just fine. However, if the SCSI driver fails to load, or it is commented out in the config.sys file, the soundblaster drivers load just fine.
I am using CTCM to get the AWE32 to initialize in DOS, and it recognizes the card. However, once the SCSI driver loads, all soundblaster functions break.
I am using the Adaptec driver named "ASPI2DOS.SYS". I really have no idea what could be causing it, but it is extremely annoying. Any help is appreciated.
