Hi,
I’d be grateful for help on this one – it really has me stumped!
I am trying fit a Raite Bravo 102 DVD drive into a SCSI system, without
much success. The system is as follows:

AMDk6-2/350
128Mb PC100 SDRAM
PC CHIPS M590 Mobo (On board SiS graphics – 8Mb/ sound)
Seagate ST15230N SCSI Hawk – 4.3Gb (ID6)
Adaptec AHA 2920 SCSI card
Phillips 6x2x2 re-writer (scsi id2)
Plextor Ultraplex 32x reader (scsi id4)
Generic Motorola internal ISA winmodem
Hollywood RealMagic decoder card (PCI)
(running Windows ’98)

When I fit the DVD as slave on the secondary IDE port, the system boots
up and works fine – until I try to access the DVD (set as drive F:) –
then I get the following error message:
‘An exception 0D has occurred at 0028:000000C0 in VxD ---. This was
called from 0028:C182C108 in VxD scsi1hlp(03) + 00000500. It may be
possible to continue normally ….’

Needless to say, it is impossible to continue normally – sometimes the
screen will clear and I can shut down the system normally, most of the
time I have to do a hard reset.
The DVD is recognised by BIOS as a CDROM – PIO mode 4, 32 Bit on – it
makes no difference if I set it as master  / slave / secondary / primary
– still get the same message.

I have tried it on a friends IDE based system – it worked fine once I
had disabled his CD Drive, leaving the DVD as the sole CD/DVD drive
(otherwise it wouldn’t complete the boot up process into Win ’95
properly)

Any suggestions will be gratefully received – would I be better off
getting a scsi dvd (do they exist? )

Many thanks
Andy Smith
