The SCSI Workshop

By Oliver Rick

A huge range of SCSI controllers is supported by a diverse range of very good SCSI device drivers. In addition to the listing of SCSI controllers in the OS/2 Compatible Hardware List, this web page tells you which driver to use. The second column tells you the [DriverName]. Normally, to enable support for your SCSI controller, you copy the file [DriverName] into the X:\OS2\BOOT directory (in which X: refers to the drive volume letter on which OS/2 or eComStation is installed), and add the line

BASEDEV=[DriverName]

to your CONFIG.SYS.

Of course, a lot of other device drivers exist, all of which might support one particular or several controllers mentioned below. A decent SCSI controller is shipped with an OS/2 driver out-of-the-box. This extensive listing deals with both older and newer SCSI technologies; special attention has been drawn on high-performance U320 SCSI controllers.


 * This RAID support requires the DPT-, IBM- and Mylex drivers.
