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
