DOS Program does not see SCSI devices. Att: Chris and Gary MVP's

Questions relating to XP that are posted in a Windows 98 newsgroup are likely
to be answered with inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate information. You should validate information about XP that you receive in a Windows 98 newsgroup by asking the same question in an XP group.
