in checking thru' my system properties i've seen that under scsi controller, there is "shuttle EPAT external ATAPI adapter for Win9x" with a yellow exclamation mark against it. under properties it says not all the necessary drivers are available... 
i found an update for the file "epatupdt" and installed it (file version 1.42), but the yellow exclamation mark hasn't disappeared... where can i find the drivers it requires and what is the purpose of the scsi controller? i've recently had problems installing an hp photosmart 315 usb camera, and also problems in burning cd rs on a new hp cd writer 8200 usb unit. are they possibly influenced by the expernal ATAPI adapter?
thanks for any suggestions,
laurence panon
