SYMPTOMS
========

When you install the driver for the BusLogic BT-946c SCSI host adapter, the
driver may load successfully but no devices attached to it may be recognized.

CAUSE
=====

The BusLogic BT-946c adapter is supported with BIOS revision 4.92e and firmware
revision 4.25j.

RESOLUTION

Contact BusLogic for BIOS and/or firmware updates.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In addition, the BusLogic BT-946c adapter is not currently included on the
Hardware Compatibility List for RISC platforms. BusLogic currently builds its
adapter configuration tools into the adapter's firmware, which cannot be
accessed on RISC platforms (DEC Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC). Adapters that cannot be
configured while installed in a RISC platform are not certified for Windows NT
as being compatible with that platform.
