I have a DOS program which I would like to run from NT. It uses an adaptec SCSI <br />
card which would have required ASPI8DOS.SYS driver on an MS-DOS system.<br />
<br />
If I add ASPI8DOS.SYS to CONFIG.NT before running the program, Windows<br />
fails to find the installed SCSI card. I assume that this is because NT does not<br />
allow direct access to hardware.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to modify my DOS program (written in Turbo C++) to access the <br />
SCSI card from NT MS-DOS mode? For example, is it possible somehow to<br />
access the windows drivers for the SCSI card?<br />
<br />
Thanks!!
