- Someone recently posted a reasonable list of information on SCSI cards
- for the PC, with lots of "booting" information, but naturally I lost
- it. (time for "wais" on top of mh ;-)
-
- I would like a SCSI card like which will:
-
- 1. read the Microsoft Win32 CD-ROM under windows
- 2. boot MS-DOS/Windows in the presense of an IDE drive
- 3. work with NT
-
- Optional, but nice features:
-
- 4. Work with 386BSD (hey - one needs some variety!)
- 5. Wash my car and apply perl patches
-
- I understand SCSI at the controller level but I'm new to DOS at the
- device driver level. Any suggestions? Could you mail me the
- SCSI/Booting FAQ?
-
- please resond via email. thanks
