Well, I celebrated too soon yesterday. Today I put the covers back on and
brought it up under WinXP. Both scsi drives sync'd at 160mb. Used it for 2
hours and it worked fine, then rebooted to bring up Warp, but now the
address 2 scsi drive is completely absent from the scsi adapter bios
display... I'm back to square 1.

And, I don't have the slightest inkling why my modem is (or at least WAS)
irq 3 yesterday, irq 11 and 5 on prior occasions, and irq 16 under WinXP. I
keep hoping someone on this forum can clue me in on this stuff.
