Can you tell us a little more about what happened? I know of a number of people using such configurations with little or no trouble (myself included!). Unless the Bt946 is misconfigured, it should have been recognised by the 2.0 boot disk, to say nothing of the later one. > does this mean that the controller card is the problem. Durring the boot pro >cess it saw and identified the scsi hard drive and dat drive and cd rom. Please send us your boot message output, particularly as it relates to the bt0 device. I strongly suspect a simple misconfiguration problem that, once rectified, will allow your machine to come up with flying colors. Jordan
