What is the SCSI?
 |
I'm using 2000 Pro and I'm trying to troubleshoot the floppy drive controller, and the drives troubleshooter is asking if I'm using a SCSI device, what the heck is it? :o

Hi,
SCSI means "Small Computer System Interface" Several Hard Drives need special SCSI or RAID Drivers but you dont need to bother with Raid!!
Depending on your Hard Drive depends if you need certain SCSI Drivers. My best bet is to ask your computer manufactorer or go on you Hard Drives manufactorer website and have alook.
Hope this helps.
Dave.

its just a different connection type, not common for PC floppy drives
PCs usually use ata/atapi, a serial based connection
with smaller devices such as 3.5 floppy on an FDD connection

not sure about that because waaay back it used to be used for things other than floppy
Hey guys...thank you for your help. All of this is related to my computer hanging up in POST, an LED display on the mobo when it hangs up matches the MSI Diagnostic LED Function - initializing floppy drive controller. And this is why I'm trying to use the Microsoft troubleshooter. Can you guys suggest something more specific for solving this problem?
