    Installing a 5.25-inch floppy drive on a new computer

    OK, It seems Greaseweazle is good choice. As for being able to read and write to the disk only through its software, this is no problem for me.

    Installing a 5.25-inch floppy drive on a new computer

    Thank you for the information, this is indeed a feasible solution. In addition, I also saw a USB to 3.5-inch floppy drive adapter, which is very cheap and may be used for some industrial equipment. It has a USB interface on one end and a 34p floppy drive interface on the other end. It can be...

    Installing a 5.25-inch floppy drive on a new computer

    I suddenly have an interest in installing a Panasonic 5.25-inch floppy drive from my collection on my computer. I also have some brand new unopened 5.25-inch floppy disks. But the problem is that my computer model is a bit new - Asus Prime 360B motherboard, i5-9600K CPU, this motherboard has two...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Hi, Chuck(G): Thank you for the information, I can find the debug.exe file from my win98 installation disk, but my card is normal now, and I'm not familiar with the debug command, I don't know why the SCSI address is D8000, and what does the '6' in that 'xxxx:6' mean, so I don't plan to try...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    You should be right, I have the installation disks for Win98, but they are packaged and I can't see the files inside. But I see DEBUG.EX_ file in my Windows XP installation disk.

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Finally I made it! After reading @jafir and @Timo W. 's reply, I made a mess in the mainboard's BIOS, and modified the following content: VT-d[Disable] -> Enabled PCIEX16_1 Link Speed[Auto] -> Gen1 IOAPIC 24-119 Entries[Enabled] -> Disabled System Time and Alarm Source[ACPI Time and Alarm...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    EEPROM? It makes sense, the config file should be there. The 29xxcfg.exe should be to use software way to change the content inside. I need to open the case again to remove my card and check the model number of eeprom, maybe it will be a solution if I back up its contents and clear it again...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Thanks for the url, I downloaded it and ran it under DOS, it told me that no SCSI adapter was found, I guess it's only for 2906 configuration. Inspired by you, I searched the Adaptec website and google for 2940cfg.exe keyword, but nothing came up, as you said, maybe Adaptec didn't put some...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    I spent about two hours trying various methods, I have successfully booted DOS from USB using Rufus tool, but it is DOS 7.0, not the traditional DOS6.22. So when I followed the DEBUG method on the website that @maxtherabbit gave me, The debug.exe I found on one of my 2000 backup CDROMs contains...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    I'm now trying to boot DOS from a USB stick, but haven't found the right tool to do it. I have another PE tool that can enter the simplest DOS interface, but it cannot load the SYS file. I am looking for information to see if there is a way to modify the PE 's configure file. Regarding the...

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Yes, I also read this part in the manual, but I still can't get into this 'SCSISelect utility' again. Because the motherboard of my PC is also a relatively new model (the chipset is Intel B360), maybe it has some differences in hardware structure compared with professional server?

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Disable the BIOS? I can't remember exactly, but if there was that item in the menu, I shouldn't have selected it, I should have just disabled message. About DOS software, Yes I think the Adaptec website should have someDOS utility can download, that's a good idea, I'll see if I can find this...

    Could you provide some more detailed information? Thank you.

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    I think so too, even if the screen doesn't show any message, the Ctrl-A hotkey should still be monitored. I remember that I had successfully disabled and re-enabled this prompt on some servers in the past. But I don't know why not now.
