fwiw, this is normal for NT 4.0.  Sorry I can't help with the error though.

7328.2IAGO::tay1dhcp112-53.tay1.dec.com::CUMMINGSRelax, have a homebrew!Mon Jan 27 1997 13:167
FWIW, we have a number of these systems as well.  The ones
that came with 4.0 on them don't have this error.  The ones
we upgraded from 3.51 do.  As you said, everything seems
to work and I have not been able to determine what is causing
the conflict.

7328.3You need only PIIX for Windows NT 4. SUTRA::16.36.2.83::BatsSpeeding, speeding, I'm always speedingMon Jan 27 1997 17:0613

	You need only one of them.
	Or the ATAPI.SYS or the PIIX PCI one.
	Where you preferably want the PIIX PCI one, since this one is
	specific for this chipset (can handle PIO mode 4, DMA mode etc).
	The ATAPI one is a generic one. (PIO Mode 3 being the max)
	So just disable/remove the ATAPI one.
	A fresh install of Windows NT 4, will handle this situation 
	correctly. An upgrade will basically add the PIIX one to the
	ATAPI driver.

7328.4perhaps a similar problem?2903::FLEISCHERwithout vision the people perish (DTN 381-0426 ZKO1-1)Mon Feb 03 1997 16:4819
        I wonder if I have a related problem:

        I have a Venturis GL 6200, with factory installed NT
        Workstation V4.0, since upgraded to SP2, which was also
        factory configured with 2.1GB IDE disk, IDE CD-ROM, and an
        Adaptec wide SCSI controller (which is connected to a 4MM DAT
        tape).

        Occasionally the event log has entries that read:

              The device, \Device\ScsiPort1, did not respond within
              the timeout period.

        The "Source" is listed as piixide.

        This system and all its devices appear to be operating
        normally.  Is this a real problem?
