I'm told that ver. 1.1R WORKS with this controller. That's the good news...Now the bad...It won't boot the floppy with the controller installed in the machine. I've tried a seperate floppy controller and disabled the floppy controller in the DTC. I get the boot message, then (after the timeout) it just hangs. If I remove the DTC controller, and just leave the floppy installed, it boots fine. What am I missing? Other info: A linux boot disk boots, but linux doesn't support the DTC SCSI controller. 386DX-25 w/ copro VGA 360MB SCSI drive. I've posted this before, but have had newsfeed problems and either missed the response, or there weren't any! Vince.
