SCSI DOS Driver

Since theres no DOS or SCSI forum, I thought this would be the best place to ask...

I have an ISA SCSI card (Adaptec AHA-1510A) but cannot find the DOS drivers anywhere for it.
So far, I've downloaded drivers (or config utilities) for the AHA-1520 and the AHA-1510B and they don't work.
According to some different sources, the ASPI2DOS.sys driver should work but doesn't.
Basically, I need to take an image of a hard disk and can't unless I can boot into DOS with the SCSI card enabled.

Thanks
 
The install documents call for

device=aspi2dos /z /y- /u- /d
device=aspidisk.sys /d

and some other stuff if you don't have the default values

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
 
I gave that a try but got the same thing...

When its loading the aspi2dos.sys driver, it pops up with AIC-6260/6360/6370 and then says it failed to install the driver.

When it then comes to aspidisk.sys, it says that the aspi manager hasn't been loaded so that fails as well.

Are there different versions of aspi2dos.sys?

Thanks
 
If I remember correctly (and it's been a while), in the adaptec set of files you download, there are several scsi drivers you can used, with a number 1 through 7 or so and a text file saying which numbered file goes with which controller card.
