    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...

    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.

    I have to say I miss the 80s and 90s, when industrial products were full of sincerity and never hesitated to use materials.

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    Yes I've tried pressing Ctrl-A in various ways, holding it down, pressing it continuously, and even pressing it to power on, and it all doesn't work. I am confused. My keyboard is USB type, I'm wondering if I need a PS/2 keyboard it would be better?

    Adaptec 2940 SCSI POST message

    I have a Adaptec 2940AU SCSI adapter installed on my computer and it works fine, but since I think every POST it has to show a 'CTRL+A' message to slow down the boot, I pressed Ctrl+A and went in setup menu and turned it off. But now when I want to turn on display this message again, no matter...
