Please help me.

I'm trying to add a SCSI HDD to my current system:

486 dx2 66  --- Win 95 o/s
540 meg Maxtor IDE HDD (C: drive, and staying that way)

I have a Rancho Technologies  RT1000B SCSI host adaptor and a Fujitsu
1 gig SCSI HDD that I want to add.

Win 95 does not see either of the SCSI's (adaptor and HDD)

The SCSI adaptor is seen by the system BIOS at boot up and the drive
is also recognized (SCSI ID 00).

Add new hardware does not find anything to add.

I've formatted the SCSI HDD using the disk provided with the SCSI
adaptor card (from DOS) but can not get any further than creating
partitions. I have not been able to assign a drive letter.

I do not want the SCSI HDD to be the boot drive.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
