What targets are attached to the 1742? If they are all SCSI type 0
(DASD) then OS2DASD.DMD will allocate all of them. OS2ASPI won't see any
targets and will uninstall. You need to use command line switches (VERY
CAREFULLY) to prevent OS2DASD from allocating the target you want to
access via ASPI.

For example (a MO drive at target 3)
BASEDEV=AHA174X.ADD /A:0 /!DM:3

Be careful not to deallocate the BOOT drive or the system will not boot!
