I tried to get an adaptec 1542 ISA SCSI card to work. The card BIOS loads, but all diagnostics fail. I then tried a PCI 2940U on the thing. The BIOS on the 2940 wouldn't even come up. I tried for several hours with different settings...I finally gave up. I don't think the WebSurfer jives with SCSI.

you have to remove the socketed DISK-ON-CHIP. This is imperitive

I have tried and ISA Compaq (Adaptec something or other) ISA, no detection, no Bios. Same result w/ PCI 2920 and 2940uw. no bios. Disable almost everything in cmos, still nothing, just ws os. Removed DOC, and no post period. No luck here.

Mine booted fine off of my Adaptec 2940uw. Not ISA, but PCI... I would think you would get similar results on an ISA though.

This may be obvious, but are the people who are having problems booting SCSI setting the BIOS to boot from SCSI instead of C? This should be needed, right?

For those who managed to boot off a SCSI card, a few questions:
- Did you leave the DoC in?
- Did you set SCSI to be the primary boot? (SCSI, C)
- Did you disable the internal IDE controller?
- Which OS were you using?

I had little success with the following cards:
Adaptec 1502 (ISA)
Adaptec 1520 (PCI)
Advansys Fast SCSI 2 (PCI)
although all were recognized by the BIOS, I was never able to go much further than the initial boot sequence.

Thanks!

Tried an old always in-2000, bios tries to load but no boot, Removed DOC, no help.
Verilgied disk and controller in another system OK.

I tried a Tekram DC-390 SCSI 2 controller.
When the SCSI BIOS appears during the POST, I
keep getting a "interrupt doesn't work." I've
changed the audio IRQ10 to IRQ5, manually enabled
IRQ's (setting others to "legacy ISA," but nothing seems to work.
I want to see if I can get an external Jaz drive to
boot.
