- Yes. There is now an OS/2 2.0 beta ASPI driver (there have been several
- versions) available via ftp at 128.123.35.151 (don't know the directory
- offhand). This is Adaptec specific, I believe it will work for a 1522
- I'm using it with a 1542B. Running OS/2, you'll want to use the OS/2
- ASPI driver, I don't think the DOS version will work at all under OS/2.
- Andreas Kaiser's GTAK100.ZIP (also available at same ftp address) is a
- port of tar to msdos and OS/2 and works with the Adaptec aspi beta.
- You'll no doubt get help/email from folks with more expertise, but email
- me for more help if you like.
