I have just purchased an HP SureStore 4020i CD burner, and now I find out that
there are drivers & software for Windows for Wallies 3.x, Windoze 95, but not
NT. I already have an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card so I don't wish to run the cut-down
ISA controller that comes with the unit. The install software seems to only seek
out the supplied card. Even with the supplied card, I can only get access to the
drive under DOS, so that's useless  as all the apps are GUI.  Short of spending
big bucks on stuff like EZSCSI or whatever from Adaptec, which I am told DO
support NT and hence would enable me to use the HP on my system, is there any
way I can get the drive to be recognised under NT? I had a look at the HP web
site and they state that they do not support NT.

This sucks. Has anyone else managed to get this drive running under NT? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

There is a certain species of fish where the
parents eat their young. I used to wonder as
to how nature could produce something so
self-destructive and pointless. I would think,
"how could the parents eat the young that they
have invested so much effort into rearing?".

Now, looking at my three-year-old, I can 
sympathise with the parent fish.
