I downloaded and made 4 floppy disks
for "COMPAQ Array Configuration Utility"
I ran the "COMPAQ Array Configuration Utility"
This installed OK,
however the software does not find any SCSI drives.
I installed (11) COMPAQ 9.1GB SCSI drives !!!
Also I ran "Diagnostics Test"
and it found and tested all (11) drives.
All drives tested OK !!!

How do I get the system to find all the SCSI drives?

Where can I download
"Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics" ?
