I bought my machine from ALR and OS/2 from IBM. Northgate was not interested in selling me the SCSI driver for the Adaptec controller board, so I was unable to get a working scsi driver for my system. To all who respond to my comment with a "Well it works for me", please keep in mind that scsi and OS/2 go together only in very specific circumstances(i.e. where did you buy your hardware/software and what hardware do you happen to have. These circumstances are a minefield for the unwary who expect to get everything, put it together and run. To anyone with those expectations I say "Stay far far away from SCSI or suffer the consequences". -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: feustel@netcom.com or feustel@cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu
