Hi Kris,

Replying to a message of Kris Steenhaut to Eddy Thilleman:

 ET>> The Adaptec SCSI BIOS has the option to boot from a SCSI cdrom drive.

 KS> Yes it has. However, you won't boot eCS with a SCSC cd-rom just like
 KS> that.

This is due to a lack of SCSI drivers in the CONFIG.SYS on the El Torito 
"floppy" of the CD-ROM. Alas, there is no way to update the CD. However (!!) 
you can always copy the CD to another, and modify/replace the floppy image with 
one that works with your SCSI adapter.

[moderating]
Since this discussion is largely about configuring hardware and drivers, the 
OS2HW echo would be a better place for it. Especially since there might be a 
number of people who are interested in getting eCS working, but aren't 
technically inclined enough to poll OS2PROG.

Regards
