Tom,  I can give you some information on the second problem you mention, but 
not the first, different adapters.  I found that EZ-SCSI 4 found my secondary 
on board controller and IDE CD_ROM and labeled them as SCSI devices.  I 
contacted Adaptec tech support via e-mail and was told that they were aware of 
the problem and that "It is being looked into".  I was also told that they 
would inform of a fix, which they have not yet done.  Actually I would be 
suprised if they do so I periodicaly check their web page for a fix.  This bug 
does not seem to be causing me any problems that I can tell.  Although if you 
try to access these purported SCSI devices the software seems to hang other 
than that no apparent problems.

For your first problem I would suggest tech support, e-mail works ok but 
expect at least a week before you recieve a reply.  In my case I contacted 
tech support around Christmas and did not get a real response until I sent a 
second message.

Good luck on getting your 1st problem solved.  If you get any more information 
on the 2nd problem I would be interested in what you find out.

Konrad
