At least I can enter Setup now. Not having used a SCSI PC before, I'm probably missing the obvious here. The AMI BIOS screen showed no drives after bootup, and I had to enter Setup to add the floppy (The PC had booted from C:\). Fine. AMI BIOS still shows no HDD, but the HDD is there, and works. I notice, though, that the SCSI utility installs (?) after BIOS, so presumably, the BIOS ignores the SCSI HDD, which is detected/installed afterwards? -- Graeme Hertford, England
