Hiya's I'm trying to convert my system to OS2/Warp, but, as you can guess, I'm having problems :( Ok, I have an Adaptec 2940PCI scsi-2 card and a NEC 3xi CDROM. I'm trying to install OS2/Warp from CDROM. 1. I insert the CDROM installation disk 2. Then the disk 1 3. I get the logo screen 4. I then get the error:- "Primary channel of the adapter at port FF00 failed initialization." and "AIC-7870 driver failed to load" Then I get the dreaded "red screen" with the message "No CDROM found....blah blah blah...." ----------------------------------------------------- I've tried to hack around with the drivers, enabling this and enabling that. I've looked at the Adaptec User Manual and set the option "/a:0", it doesn't work. My scsi-2 bus:device code is "00:11h." My spec is:- P90 (with the "fdiv bug") OPTI motherboard 16 Mb's Nec 3xi IBM Spitfire hard drive Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM PCI with 2mb's ----------------------------------------------------- Any ideas ? Thanks in advance for your help. :)avid. P.S., could you post here, since my email server is down and I can't read my mail!!! :((((
