    I have an Adaptec SCSI adapter, so I should be able to obtain this
support.  Given that the system is already running, however, the next
question is how?  Should I put on the Interrupt Enable jumper and
reinstall OS2?  That is, will OS2 automatically determinine that it
should substitute interrupt support, or do I have to tell it somehow?
    Thanks much for all the encouragement!
