Granted, the device should be supported, but not Hmmm.... the entire reason I switched from an IDE drive to a SCSI drive in a DOS machine was to allow connection of various peripherals such as MO, Tape, DAT and stuff without having to get an adapter and trying to figure out conflicting memory I/O addresses, IRQ's etc. And I figured I didn't need bus mastering for a DOS machine so I got a 1522 and sort of think support would be nice! >necessarily encouraged. > >Bill.
