DOS Program does not see SCSI devices.
This is exactly why people now need to have dual-boot computers with 98SE and
XPPRO. Microsoft has forced our hands and created this annoying but now necessary situation. People can still buy 98SE via Ebay or another site. However, I hope Microsoft will sell or give the 9x code to the open-source community after it expires on 30 June 2006. I am adding the 98 general newsgroup to your reply Vinny in hopes that a solution better than mine may be found to help you answer your question. Have a great day!
