Bus Logic Flashpoint PCI SCSI card
Franger
I recently purchased a Bus Logic Flashpoint PCI SCSI card and installed it in
my 486 DX 66 system. I already had an IDE as the boot drive. The IDE controller
is built in to the board. I am running Win 95 with 32 mb ram. I have 2 hard
drives (D, & E), plus a SCSI CD-Rom (F) and (C) is the IDE drive.
In Win 95 system setting it says there is a conflict with the SCSI card. The
yellow exclamation (!) mark appears, as well as on the IDE controller, yet when
I look at the settings it says "No conflicts" . The system occassionally hangs
up, but for the most part runs OK. I am using the built in Win 95 buslogic
driver for the SCSI card. I downloaded the Flashpoint driver from the buslogic
web page, but it causes the system to halt after installation and Win 95 will
not work except in "safe" mode. This happened every time I tried to install the
Flashpoint driver, so I just went with the buslogic driver in Win 95. Any
suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?
Also, my SCSI CD Rom does not auto-execute CD's when placed in the drive, such
as the Win 95 disk, or audio CD's. I always have to manually launch the file
and then it runs ok.
Thanks for any help. Please E-mail to Fra...@gotnet.net, or reply here to this

Nope... SCSI CD-ROMs are supposed to auto-play also.

So why not turn the feature off? You can either use MS's free Tweak UI utility
to do the job, or you can do it manually by turning "auto insert notification"
off.
You'll find this option in the CD-ROM entries in the system properties
(right-click on "My Computer," choose "Properties" then click on the
"Device manager" tab).
For each of your CD-ROM drives, there's a check box under the "settings"
tab.
