Bernie, I was searching for the proper name for the Adaptec layer and could not remember it; but you came up with it. It is the ASPI layer that I was referring to. I am not sure if it is called or qualifies as a "driver" but it is a file that is used with SCSI devices. It can also be obtained on the Adaptec web site, I believe. If I recollect correctly, there is also a program for forcing the installation of the ASPI layer on Microsoft systems which rejected it.
