Hello,
  Does anyone know if adaptex has a newer version of the scsi utility programs?
Specifically, I need one that works on cdc 94161-155 model.  The version I
downloaded from there (thanks to Roy Neese for supplying those programs) does
not work.  It can't do low-level format, and said no on-disk buffer is
available.  I think all these are due to the program seeing the drive as a
94161-9.
  BTW, is there any commercial/pd software that will do similar things (format,
access scsi code page, turn on on-disk buffer...)?  How about SpeedStor and
Disk Manager?
  Also, the adaptec 1542a installation guide mentioned that you need a software
driver to use the scsi drive as the third drive, and to support tape drives.
Now the question is, where can I get it? Is it at adaptex? or do I have to
purchase it from adaptec?

  Thanks.
