G'day there,

I sent the following request to various OS/2 newsgroups but did not get
much response. Can anybody here help out?


***************************************************************************
I'm trying to configure OS/2 1.21 (Microsoft Version) on a 286. I dont get
very far at all though, because my machine hangs when I run the install disk.

I have a feeling that OS/2 can not recognise my hard disk.
I have a Mitsubishi 65Mbyte RLL drive with an Adaptec 2372B disk controller.

This controller has its own BIOS which is probably the root of the problem.

My question is - does anyone have an OS/2 driver for this controller?

I just read an article in one of the OS/2 news groups stating that Adaptec
had drivers available for their SCSI controllers and thought it was at least
worth asking.
****************************************************************************

By the way since then, I have found in the installation instructions that came
with the card that the controller works with OS/2. But I cant get it to.

Many thanks for any help .........

 
  
  Cheers.

  Dennett Jaques.
