Is there anybody out there using the DTC3290 SCSI card with Win95?? I 
downloaded what was supposed to be the WIN95 drivers from DTC's web 
page. However, they lockup the machine during boot. I've tried emailing 
their Tech-support, but haven't received any reply from them... The card 
works in dos compatibilty mode, but I would really like to get the 
better performance it is capable of.... If you can help me, please 
repond by email to :

         safarik@fnal.gov


Thanks,
           Ray

Ray,
   I have a DTC 3290 as well. The 32bit miniport driver for WindowsNT
works just fine. I'm running NT3.51. However, I too have tried in vain
to get the miniport driver for Win95 to load properly. I always get a
Code 10 error. This indicates that the driver is damaged or there is
an IO address or IRQ conflict. Well, I have neither an IO or IRQ conflict 
but the damn thing does not load. You must have the old 16 bit ASPI 
driver loaded as well. Without it the system won't run at all. So the
SCSI controller runs in MS-DOS compatability mode and, in addition, the
CD ROM is not recognized. 
   EISA is already a relic of the past and DTC isn't allocating any
resources to support it under 95. Their technical help is terrible. I
did succeed in talking to the head of technical support once. His name is
Alan Polsky and his number is 408-942-4057. He seemed to want to help.
He had his staff post a version of the miniport driver on the BBS for me.
When I downloaded it, it was the exact same version I already had. Since
that time he has never returned my phone calls. So I suggest you call him
and let him know that you are having problems. Maybe if enough 
dissatisfied customers call that number something will be done.

If you ever get the miniport driver to install correctly, please let me
know.
