Hi,

I know, that there is the possibility, to add an extern SCSI-device e.g.
Jaz-drive to a running NT4-Sytem,
if I go to the properties, Section Streamer, an click recognize (in German:
Systemsteuerung-Bandgeraete-Erkennen)
Then, the Jaz is added.
Does anybody know a program or a link to such a programm, which does the
same?

Regards

Alfred

Write a small program in C that calls DeviceIoControl with a control
code of IOCTL_SCSI_RESCAN_BUS and it should pick up any SCSI devices
that were added after powerup or last scan.

I have
Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL ST6.4S Rev: 0F0C

with
SCSI Adapter: Adaptec AHA-294X SCSI host adapter
(AIC-787x chipset)

this is a 50pin drive and giving me problems on
Red Hat Linux release 5.0 (Hurricane)
Kernel 2.0.31 on an i586

I want to replace the above named scsi card with mylex scsi card (which has
50 and 68 pin connector) and put the above existing hd (50 pin) and a new
one with 68pins (using two ribbons for the two connectors) and the OS as
above.

After doing this if possible, will I loose data from my existing 50pin hd?

I would appreciate greatly any responses to my question.

Thanks

Shakaib

Simply try powering up the device, go to the view pull down menu and hit
refresh. This should work.

I have written such a program, but you (still) need ASPI:

Yes, this is easy, but how to get a drive letter. so far i know you must
mount this now unclaimed device with IOCTL_SCSI_FIND_NEW_DEVICES, but i get
always Access denied. Did you ever used IOCTL_SCSI_FIND_NEW_DEVICES ?

The only thing a rescan will do is create kernel mode
\Device\Hardisk#\Partition# objects, which you can examine with winobj from
www.sysinternals.com. You then have to create the drive letter yourself with
DefineDosDevice.

Where is "view pull down menu"?
