I have this old top-of-the-line 486DX2/66 -machine from Finland, specs:

-i486DX2/66
-ATI Mach32 (on VLB bus)
-128KB L2 cache
-16MB RAM
-SB16 (with Panasonic 2X CD-ROM)
-GUS PnP
-SCSI controller NCR 59C34 on motherboard

I have two 4GB SCSI-drivers which both works in DOS nicely, WD and Quantum. Only thing is that Windows 95D goes in MS-DOS Compatibility mode with SCSI-drive and it's very slow. When writing to HDD everything just stops for awhile.

Tried to find driver but found only this: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=405&menustate=0
There's no Windows 9x driver... Is it possible to make NT3.1 driver to work with 9x? Or any other ideas?

I've been using ISA IDE with SD-card but SCSI would be so cool...

Tried some 59c34 -drivers from windows but those were for EISA or MCA -cards and don't say nothing.

Did you try this driver ? https://www.ardent-tool.com/utils/unalz/ncr206.zip from here https://www.ardent-tool.com/SCSI/Procom_MC_SCSI_Enabler.html

edit: nevermind, seems like it's only for 53c94 MCA bus systems

Where to look drivers when needed. From the manufacturers web site!

Edit: Works in Windows, no problems!

SCSI-Windows driver is hardcoded to port 340h and if my GUS PnP is at 240h then the Codec address is 340h and problems. So needed to take GUS to 250h so Codec is 350h and almost everything works but some software just dont work if GUS is at port 250h...
