OSDIPNPA - NO DISKETTE DRIVE WHEN USING AN ADAPTEC 1542CP PNP ISA SCSI
CARD
09/20/96
=======================================================================
No Diskette Drive when Using an Adaptec 1542CP PNP ISA SCSI Card
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When an Adaptec 1542CP PnP (Plug and Play) ISA SCSI adapter with an
incorporated diskette controller is plugged into an ISA machine with a
diskette controller on the planar, the PnP configuration logic cannot
detect whether the diskette drive is attached to the SCSI adapter or
directly to the planar.
Currently this logic assigns the diskette resources to the SCSI
controller. If the diskette drive is attached to the controller on the
planar, the machine will have NO diskette drive available. For this
reason, the diskette drive must be physically attached to the
controller on the SCSI adapter (PnP card) to be recognized.
RESOLUTION
PnP ISA adapters which include diskette controllers are not supported
at this time.
