Hi guys.
I will start by saying Im a long time reader first time writer on here.
I would also appologise if this has been asked and answered before, I did have a search around but cant seem to find a fix for my particular problem.
So Ill tell you everything Ive got then hopefully you will be able to tell me what Im doing wrong.
Ive got a Dell GX50 running Windows 98SE on a 250Gb IDE disk with a 50% partition for Windows and 50% for storage.
Jaton Geforce 6200 on the first Low profile PCI slot
Adaptec AUA-3121 USB 2.0 Firewire combo card
Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI controller that isnt being used for anything at the moment, but I have plans for it later.
All other hardware is standard for the GX50.
I have a Pioneer DVD ROM in a Firewire drive bay, its one of the IDE slot loading drives.
When I attach it to another PC it works perfectly fine.
My problem is Windows 98SE sees the drive, it calls it a IEEE 1394 CD-ROM device.
I have unofficial SP3 installed but only the core system files, none of the other updates as I always seem to have trouble with it even when following the update install order as given on the site its from.
I have two driver options in my system but neither of them seem to work.
I installed update 242975 which is what added the second driver option.
NTMAP.INF comes from the SP3 Cab file and is what the system is using, there was another added with update 242975 but I cant seem to make windows load it anymore, it didnt work so I pointed it to use NTMAP.inf instead and it still doesnt work.
Can anybody help me get this drive working please.
