DOS SCSI Drivers
There have been a large number of SCSI cards made in 8/16-bit ISA, PCI, PCI-X (64-bit PCI), and even PCIe for PCs. While several still have drivers fairly available, they're getting harder to find, along with the knowledge of how to configure/use them or any quirks for them to work properly. As part of the BlueSCSI project, we're collecting links to the drivers for cards tested/vetted with BlueSCSI devices. These same drivers are included in the premade DOS images as well.
Adaptec ISA/EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI Card Drivers
- The included README.TXT file has a breakdown of which SYS driver to use for each model of Adaptec SCSI card all the way up to their Ultra2 Wide cards. CDROM and Removable/Non-INT13 disk drives are included as well.
- This is a very specific driver for the AMD SCSI controller in the HP Vectra XU series. It will not work for other AM53C875 or AM53C974 cards, causing a system hard lock when it loads.
Data Technologies DTC3180AS/3280AS ISA Card
- This card uses an NEC chip for SCSI, and has a floppy controller built-in. Unique to this card is the floppy controller can be configured as a secondary, allowing you to maintain any onboard floppy controllers or, with a second DTC3X80 card, use up to 4 floppy drives or floppy based tape drives. The drivers here are for DOS, Windows 3.1, Netware 4 and older, and SCO Unix for PCs only.
- CAUTION: In testing, this card would cause a system freeze on a Pentium/Socket 7 motherboard running AMIBios but worked just fine on a 486 motherboard.
