Thanks Hayes,
I have the v2.20 bios also. I thought about using it, but I believe this
latest version deals mostly with the high speed wide channel and some minor
tweaks with internal termination IIRC. My trouble was on the old narrow
channel. I will dig through my docs for sure. So far, so good with the
v1.34 bios. It did the trick and w2K is up and running quite well for a 10
year old antique.
Best,
Duncan

There's v2.20 of the BIOS which is the last one released by Adaptec. Might
want that on when putting on a later OS.

OK, The old PC is now happy with W2Kpro SP4!!
Good enough for now. I'll worry with XP later..................
This collective managed to steer me to the problem!
The bios on my scsi controller was too old.
As soon as I flashed my 2940uw to bios v1.34, I gained
control of the scsi cdrom(s) connected to it. Actually, it let me
throttle the controller back to 10MB/sec from 20MB/sec on the narrow
channel. This change allowed the CD to be read and BOOT w/o error.
I now own a Micron Pentium Pro 200/256 that has 512KB of RAM
and it quite quickly runs W2KProSP4 off the c:/ hd. It is all good.
A stupid scsi problem! W/C/S known better............Duh.
Please excuse all of the noise....... :)
Best,
Duncan
