Harry,
I'm sure you mean DANIS506, not Dani506s.

My Dell has no SCSI capability, but it does use two SATA drives.

I have
BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /VL
and
BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT /RSJ
in CONFIG.SYS on that PC.

The /VL (verbose-less) provides information at startup time about the
drive(s) that were detected. /WL would pause the screen, so that you
could copy down what is shown there.

Be sure and read the DANIS506.DOC file. It will tell you how to get
help from Daniela Engert if you are really stuck!

Finally, in the BIOS, I can set drives "Off" or "On"; naturally, I have
the two drives that I use set "On". I don't know what your BIOS allows
/ requires, of course.
