			 PREMMIA GX ADAPTEC PCI AND NCR SCSI CONTROLLER


PROBLEM
When adding an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI controller to the Premmia GX system, 
and leaving the internal NCR SCSI controller enabled, DOS does not recognize 
any drive attached to the Adaptec controller. 

CAUSE
None.  This is a configuration issue.

SYSTEMS AFFECTED
AST PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION

501457-001 PREMMIA GX P90/3 8MB

SOLUTION
Install the Adaptec utilities, version 3.03, using the DOSINST command.  
This will automatically configure the system to initialize INT 13 and see 
both drives at the DOS level.
