Has anybody got this controller (buslogic 946c) to work with NT3.51
and convert FAT to NTFS?
I have looked everywhere and the best solution is to break the drive
in partitions.
TIA

I have two machines running that way with no problems (although I didn't run 
convert, just set them up for both fat and NTFS partitions).

You should have no problems if you use "disk administrator".

Yes. I have the BT-946c and NT 3.51 (w/o any service packs or shell)
and converted a FAT partition to NTFS with no problems that I'm aware 
of. Since you mentioned multiple partitions, the FAT I converted was 
the second partition on the disk and is where I installed NT.

No problem converting FAT to NTFS - but no partition can be larger
than about 2G. I have a 4G drive, and all heck broke loose when I
tried to make one NTFS partiton on it. Breaking it into two
equal-sized partitions cured it.
