- Seems to be a problem with 1991 IBM scsi adapters. We've gotten things
- running using 1990 version and I've heard 1992 is OK. Except the
- model PS/2 8590-OLF seems to fail even without the 1991 adapter.
-
- MSFT says they have a fix and will post it to Compuserve soon but
- I've seen nothing yet nor heard what the problem actually was.
-
- What model PS/2 do you have?
-
- We've gotten WNT running on models OKF and OJ9 so far with 1990 scsi
- rom's.
