I did not see any mention of any software being installed for your
scsi controller, Win95, sometimes especially with some cdroms and
ethernet cards can only detect the device after it is active, ie you
may need to have an aspi manager running before 95 will detect the
scsi controller, the best way to do this is to boot to command prompt
only by hitting f8 [when starting windows95 <is displayed during boot
up] and choosing command prompt only. Than follow your scsi card
manual s instructions for installing under dos, reboot and try to
autodetect in 95. hope this helps
