A scssi controller

You may need to hit F6 at the beginning of setup to install your controller drivers before Win2K3 will see your drive.

I will give it a shot

When you first enter the setup, look at the bottom of the screen. It will say hit F6 to install additional controllers. Hit F6 and then wait a minute or so. You will get another screen that you did not previously see. You need to have a copy of your scsi driver for win2k3 on a floppy ready to go. Follow the instructions, and away you go. Good luck,

I found the controller driver, at last, in the bottom of the box. I copied the txtsetup.oem and other files over to a floppy and they loaded fine. We are cooking with gas
