Q: Why does my system reboot after the QEMM driver loads from
CONFIG.SYS?
A: The problem lies in the QEMM "Stealth" feature. This feature places the
drive information from the DOS System area into the upper reaches of
RAM where Windows resides. This causes the FastTrak66 to lose track of
its drives when asked to execute the next line in the CONFIG.SYS file. This
forces the reboot that you see. Disable QEMM's stealth feature to correct
this problem.
Q: Why can't I see the drives on the FastTrak66 under FDISK?
A: The FastTrak66 controller is dedicated to RAID array management and
does not provide any means of addressing individual hard drives through
the Int 13h interface used by FDISK. In order to access drives on the
FastTrak66 from MSDOS at all, you must first create a RAID array.
