Problems and Solutions

When installing EZ-SCSI, my DOS/Windows 3.x system does not find
the SCSI Card 1505.
This indicates a resource conflict. Try a different I/O Port Address
and/or IRQ and try installing EZ-SCSI again.
I have both a Soundblaster card with a SCSI controller embedded on it,
and an SCSI Card 1505 installed in the same computer. Am I going to
experience any resource conflicts?
The SCSI controller on the Soundblaster card is typically set, by
default, to use I/O port address 340 and IRQ 11. To avoid resource
conflicts, check the current setting of the SCSI Card 1505 and make
any required changes with the J3 jumper and SCSISelect.
When trying to run the Format/Verify SCSI disk utility in SCSI Select , I
get an Unexpected SCSI Command Failure pop-up box with error
information.
The utility probably encountered a problem with the disk drive or
the media and therefore cannot run. You can determine from the
Sense Key information (for example, 06h - Unit Attention) both the
cause of the problem and its solution. Here are some of the more
common Sense Key values and their meanings:
02h - Not ready—The media is not ready to format. Be sure
media is inserted in the drive and the media is spun up.
03h - Medium error—The disk media may be defective. If it is a
removable-media drive, try using a different disk media. If it is
a hard drive, the drive may be physically damaged. Verify the
hard disk drive and format the media with SCSISelect.
04h - Hardware error—The disk drive may be defective. Con-
sult the hardware documentation and contact the manufacturer.
