Would it work and how would I go about configuring it. Is there any advantege in running a scsi if I'm running DOS (16-bit, not multitasking)? Is the scsi for a Pentium(and up) the same as 486? (Slightly off thread here). Why doesn't 32-bit file access work for me? I HAVE (device = ifhelp.sys) in my config.sys. (someone mentioned that it was needed to work) but my computer wouldn't load WFW 3.11 when the 32-bit file access iss on. Thanks.
