investigating.)

Note 3
Using the DTC 3292 EISA controller in the
AST Research Premium system and DELL
450DE System may require Parity to be
disabled for SCO UNIX installations.
(This may also be the case with other vendor
drives)

Compaq EISA configuration program may
not function with a SCSI device connected.
In this case it is necessary to complete
configuration of the Adapter and then attach
the storage device.
