SYMPTOMS

Windows 95 does not detect an AMI Fast SCSI II controller in your computer. Instead, it installs a Buslogic driver.

CAUSE

Windows 95 does not include an AMI SCSI controller driver. The AMI Fast SCSI Series 7000 chip set on these controllers is backward compatible with Buslogic and Adaptec controllers. However, using either of these drivers may cause the floppy disk drive(s) not to work.

RESOLUTION

You may be able to use the Microsoft Windows NT driver for the AMI Fast SCSI controller. To do so, follow these steps:
1.Obtain the Windows NT driver for the controller from AMI's BBS. The driver file is currently named Ami0nt.sys.
2.Rename this file to Buslogic.mpd or Aha154x.mpd.
3.Copy the file to the Windows\System\Iosubsys folder.
4.Refer to the controller's documentation for further information about setting up the Windows NT driver for the controller.
