Drivers for hard disks
It seems that the Adaptec Ultra320 Family Driver for OS/2 (d1.0 9/5/203) will
not load in my box with Adaptec SCSI BIOS v4.30, AIC-7902 chipset and Cheetah
15k.3 drive.
I investigated shared IRQs but found no way of reassigning or disabling
all shared devices.
Booting almost works with the I13 driver present, but after reporting all the
basedevs, IFSs and devices in the config.sys file, it stops after the last
device in the file with a blinking cursor on a new line. A hard reset is the
only way out then.
Is there any way of operating my SCSI drive with HPFS and JFS partitions in this
box or should I consider using bootable Dfsee to clone it to a SATA drive?

Re: Drivers for hard disks
Have you by chance EARLYMEMINIT=TRUE in config.sys ? Either remove or set
EARLYMEMINIT=FALSE

Make sure that the I13 drive is the only hard drive driver in your
CONFIG.SYS file. It does not work correctly if loaded with other drivers
that also try to operate the hard drive.
And of course, also try older Adaptec drivers, and perhaps even some
different Adaptec drivers.
And be sure that they are in order! The UNICODE.SYS driver must be
loaded before the JFS driver.(JFS can' run without it!)
And try the /V or /W parameters with the drivers to what they report.
DANIS506.ADD will give you all sorts of information. It ALT-F4, or ALT-5
when OS/2 boots-up to be able to load the CONFIG.SYS file line by
line, driver by driver, and be able to read whatever each driver reports
back to you, if you use the /V parameter (verbose), or /W (verbose, and
wait). Just perhaps one driver is having a problem.
