Seagate SCSI Adapters ST-01 and ST-02 and Windows (88567)

MORE INFORMATION

Excluding ST-01 and ST-02 in UMA

The Seagate model ST-01 and ST-02 SCSI host adapters use a memory address space in the upper memory area (UMA) between 640 and 1024K. This address used is defined by the JP-1 jumper on the card.

After determining the card's address, exclude it in the SYSTEM.INI file with an EMMEXCLUDE=xxxx-yyyy in the [386Enh] section, or exclude it with your UMA provider, such as EMM386.EXE, if you are using one.

Using ST-02 With an RLL Controller

If you are using a Seagate ST-02 SCSI controller and a RLL controller in the same machine, then make sure the RLL is the primary controller or you can't use the ST-02 to control your floppy drives.

To make the RLL controller the primary controller, make sure that you change its ROM address in the UMA to be lower than the SCSI controller's address. For example, if the RLL controller is at D400, and the ST-02 is at D000, move the RLL controller to C800.

This may require changing the SCSI controller address also. Check the hardware manuals for this information.
