You did :-) The Adaptec BIOS will only send a start command if it is configured to remain resident (sounds stupid to me, but that's the way it is). I want to maximize upper memory for DOS usage (yuck) so my AHA2940 is configured without BIOS => no start unit. J"org, I promise I will attempt to figure out what goes wrong in the driver with RZ disks as soon as I manage to get a reliable machine from my vendor. First motherboard gave "cc1 got signal 11" when doing intensive SCSI I/O, the newer one just plains reboot without a message when swapping occurs (or it is intensive graphics I/O ?) *sigh* Again, thanks for your time, _Alain_ -- Alain FAUCONNET Ingenieur systeme - System Manager AP-HP/SIM Public Health 91 bld de l'Hopital 75013 PARIS FRANCE Medical Computing Research Labs Mail: af@biomath.jussieu.fr Tel: (+33) 1-40-77-96-19 Fax: (+33) 1-45-86-80-68 I've RTFMed.
