I am building a new PII 350mhz system using the configuration below.
No operating system currently installed.
CPU - PII 350 MHz
Motherboard - ASUS P2B  (Has an AWARD BIOS v4.51PG revision 10008)
SCSI Controller - Adaptec 2049 Ultra Wide V1.25 BIOS
Quantum Fireball 6.4g SE
Diamond V550 AGP vide card

I receive a "time our failure during SCSI inquiry" error message when the
controller attempts to locate the devices on startup, followed by a "SCSI
BIOS not installed". I went to the SCSI utilities and could not get the
device to be recognized.

When I attempt to detect the drive, the systems hangs at the SCSI id number
configured on drive.

The drive is terminated correctly and works fine in another system.
The controller is brand new.

I get the same results when I put any SCSI drive into the system.

Anybody have any ideas?


TIA
