Let's say not supported off the CD. You can always supply additional
drivers via diskette.

This driver has issues. I don't know about the v1.1 readme, but the v1.2
readme contains specific negative statements about this driver. The
recommendation is to try the equivalent SymBIOS driver.

The Adaptec driver will not work. TTBOMK, the 2920 is a rebadge Future
Domain.

Try using the /V option on the TekRAM BASEDEV and see if that provides any
additional info.

This is normal if the SCSI driver fails to load.

You don't need OS2SCSI.DMD. It only required for some really old tape
backup units.
