Exactly 6 months before you I posed a similar question for Win 95. Have you been able
to get Win95 drivers for a 22C. Without drivers, Win 95 has to rely on the BIOS and the Protected
Mode driver UVDS which can cause 95 to get confused and corrupt the drive's data.

If yout got Win 95 drivers, you shall be able to use them in '98. Also, if you got '95 drivers, please send
them to me as I haven't got any. Understand that you can't really blame Billy Gates for not supporting the
22 series of cards. You and I are probably of the very few people in the planet which got EISA machines
with ESDI drives. As you shall know Ultrastor, EISA and ESDI are all dead entities.
Note that the non-EISA cousin of the 22, the 12 series can be driven (I'm currently using a 12F
with Win95B as I haven't been able to get the 22C working with 95B) by the built-in
"Standard ESDI/IDE" driver of Win 95.
