What I can't seem to be able to do with either notebook or PCCard, is configure a DOS boot floppy which will give me access to my (SCSI connected) Jaz from a DOS prompt (do I use a device=ASPIxDOS.SYS in my config.sys? and if so, which 'x', I think I've tried them all). [I want to do a Drive Image Backup/Restore to copy a partition image from one 770 to the other.] Neither PCCard documentation from Adaptec addresses the DOS accessability issue. I only need to get one PCCard working ('cause I can use the same boot floppy with that PCCard in both machines), so I'll settle for either if I can't get both.
I don't know if this will help, but I bought a SlimSCSI 1450B
(PCCard). Haven't installed it yet (told you this wouldn't help
much :).
Adaptec claims both on the website and in the documentation that it
only supports Win95. adaptec.com says the 1480 "Supports Windowsr
95, WIndows 98, and Windows NTr 4.0". I don't know if this implies
a lack of DOS support (perhaps since it's CardBus).
The only one of the three that adaptec.com suggests for Win3.1,
OS/2, WinCE, and DOS, is the 1460.
Hope this helps somewhat.
