Is there a "trick" to getting the computer to load the SCSI driver when booting into FreeDOS from a USB?

Hi sjbadham,

don't know if it is still relavant, but you have to load the SCSI-driver in your config.sys:

copy the adaptec driver aspi8dos.sys in the smae directory as the config.sys on your stick. Then add in your config.sys the following line:
device=aspi8dos.sys

save it.

That's all (provided aspi8dos.sys is the correct driver for your card)

Good luck

Hello all,

I'm a new owner of a Howtek 4500 using DPL 7.8.6.

I've been slowly reading through the back history of this post.

My scanner is working well, the only issue I have is that DPL Autofocus does not work for transmissive media. The scanner shows it's running the autofocus routine then displays "LAMP/MIRROR R ERROR F719". Autofocus seems to work very well for reflective media. FST4500 passes all the tests.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Email Aztec and ask them. Evan I think is who you want to talk to. I am still on DPL7 with my Howtek HiResolve8000
