Hi Michael,
Nope, there are documented instances of SCSI drivers being incompatible
with VDS.
Sure, but as I understand it, this VDS problem will occurr even when
there's NO driver loaded (e.g. pure INT13)?
In those cases, they share the same interrupt and potentially
the same register values which VDS uses to determine its functions
OK, is this related?

If it's about busmastering and IDE, it's hardly surprising it doesn't
work with SCSI (kind of not needed). If it's about something else...
and
what to do. Obviously if SCSI wants to read a disk sector and VDS
thinks you want to check for contiguous memory amounts, something is
going to wind up very unhappy.
Right. I'm wondering how they used to manage with Adaptec and DOS in the
early days - maybe they used to just disable VDS? Maybe that's the
correct thing to do when using SCSI?
Oh, 3.5) I was bored and it was a mild diversion. And, 3.75) It gave me
an excuse to start working with Perl and Cygwin-based utils a bit more
Excellent idea!
