Care to show the url where Plextor explicitly stated that, Lying Scum?
Does Plextor also say compatibility with future Windows, too?

Assuming Plextor indeed stated compatibility with all Windows, does
that justify your piping in?

I'm running 2000, not servers, but one system has four Plextor SCSI
drives, the other, two. There have been no problems on either system

Yet another "Mikey did it", Mikey?

There have been no problems on either system
since I removed fragments of the ASPI layer

ASPI doesn't 'belong' on Win2K and

programs which *use* the ASPI layer
can create serious instabilities.

Here's the procedure I recommend.

You may also have chunks of an ASPI layer installed,

And I doubt you will until 2003 is available to the general public. I could
be wrong but I don't believe that's the cause at this point.

Do me a favor...killfile me. Or don't bother
replying to anything I post. I never took interest
in what has been posted about you, nor do I care,

LOL, you claimed not to be rude but it looks like you delivered after all.

If you want him to killfile you, you're not good at ignoring him. :-)

I just didn't see what I said that was so rude
and needed a nasty reply, with no info on the subject.

Yea, I'll go along with that. I also wasn't part of your phone conversation,
so I'm just going to be quiet because going on would be pointless. I think
the only thing that put me off about your initial message was Plex never
claimed they'd support the drive under Server 2003 so you really can't say
they lied or didn't live up to a promise they made. Still, I hope Plextor
does eventually support their drives under Server 2003. I have hardware that
was abandoned under newer operating systems and it blows. All we can do in
that sutuation is try to convince the manufacturer otherwise.

And IIII his comment about being "rude" was your use of profanity in
your original post. I guess Mike must be clairvoyant and know exactly
how your convo with Plextor must have gone based on your frustration
level when you made your post

Well, in that case, I'll say I'm sorry if my use
of such words upset anyone here. I didn't
know it was a ' PG ' rated group.

Who knows, I read this group all the time, and stick my foot out and
trip someone on occasion :-D

Now seeing as I also do not run 2k3 I'm only going to offer very
generic suggestions. Load the latest firmware on the drive, and
perhaps try to load the ASPI package, not sure if it works in 2k3 or
not but it's worth a shot.

Thanks..tried all that.. I think it's due to a SCSI
issue, as I attached a EIDE CDRW to it and THAT
has no problems. Mind you, the SCSI HDs have
no problem. IF it's a SCSI problem, not just the
Plextor, then they could have been civil to me and
told me to check things out. EVEN if they only
wanted to tell me they will not support 2003, that's
ok too. But no, they got ****ed at me that they had
to answer the ?? in the 1st place. Like I should
of KNOWN all this already, and not to 'bother' them.

But that's ok..I won't bother Plextor with my $$$ anymore..

Well the only other thing I can say is check out whatever the latest
scsi driver is (which I'm sure you've probably already done) and
remember this, there's a reason most people (myself included) don't
pick up a Microsoft OS until at least the first service pack is
released :-D

-GV

oh ps - isn't it rather amusing that NT 3.5x basically "lived" on SCSI
and now that we're up to 2k3, it's having problems with it? LOL

Don't blame yourself.

Mikey Richter (Lying Scum) started it all with ITS totally out-of-it
'response' that included unadulterated, unmitigated, weasel lies.

Plextor's site is explicit that their drives are compatible with all

Only some vague "problems", Mikey? How about BSOD, Mikey? Adrian
Miller does do provide reliable information, isn't that right, Mikey?

Interesting. I can only assume there is a hardware or software
difference between our machines causing a conflict. I know I'm not
the only one who is having zero difficulties using the adaptec ver.
1021ASPI layer on both Win2k and now XP. It resides without any
conflicts whatsoever, and it sure is great to be able to use EAC and
other aspi-only apps on XP!

That is the problem, it works fine for many people but when it blows it
does it big time. Hence I always recommend against attempting to use the
Adaptec ASPI layer on 2000 and above, and for those that still want to
try I advise a full system backup first. ASPI was EOLed in 1999, people
should have moved on by now.

=======================
From: "Adrian Miller"
Date: 11/24/01

When it blows, what exactly happens? I'm just curious here.

Usually a BSOD on start up that requires booting from the OS CD to use
the recovery options in the case of 2000, and sometimes an OS re-install
is required!

=======================
From: "Adrian Miller"
Date: 11/24/01

What is the procedure to recover the OS in recovery mode? What
specific changes are made to files or the registry. Again, I'm only
curious.

Either the auto repair option worked or I re-installed the OS, can't
really remember.
