Hi,

I just bought a 1.2gig SCSI drive and Adaptec controller.  I also have
a NEC CDR84 CD-ROM drive.

I would like to get all these working with minimum hassle.  However, when
I add "BASEDEV=154X.ADD" to config.sys, I can no longer boot OS/2.  Inspection
seems to indicate that the SCSI drive (which has an already formatted DOS
partition on it) is being "inserted" before my OS/2 partition, causing the
drive letter to get changed.  Now, I could boot from floppy, edit my config.sys
to reflect the new drive letter, and then things should work, right?  But
is there an easier way?  I'd like to put the scsi drives at any arbitrary
drive letter.

Any help, public or e-mail, would be appreciated.

Thanks,
