After opening the computer many times and playing with IRQ's and SCSI ID's, it finally came down to a buggy ASPI driver! <g> I had downloaded updated drivers from NCR's FTP site some time ago and have been using them for a while. Those updated drivers are improved and take less memory, so there was no reason for me not to use them, even though the previous "batch" worked just fine as well. When I re-installed the older DOSCAM.SYS, MINICAM.SYS, CDROM.SYS and ASPICAM.SYS, SCSICFG.EXE FINALLY worked. I then tried to pinpoint the problem. Because I thought that DOSCAM.SYS / MINICAM.SYS were the source of the problem, I updated the other drivers. SCSIDRVR.SYS then wouldn't load. I then finally found the source of the problem: ASPICAM.SYS. So if anyone has a problem using a ZIP drive with a NCR controller, check ASPICAM.SYS' version! The one that works for me is 3.0.1. I am now happily using my ZIP drive. Thanks for all of you that tried to help me! I really appreciate! --- Sandro Mancini : "Idealism is fine, but as it approaches mancini1@ix.netcom.com : reality, the costs become prohibitive." San Francisco, CA : - William F. Buckley
