I didn't want to do it but I can't figure this one out on my own
I had WFWG on my pc. I installed an ISAPPORT SCSI controller and
everything seemed to go well. I had an internal SCSI hard drive
and an internal SCSI CDROM. I didn't have the right cable so I
only put the CDROM on the SCSI BUS. Then I upgraded my system to
WIN95 (I wanted to use the CDROM for the upgrade). Everything
still worked fine. Then I got a cable that would allow me to
connect both the CDROM and the hard drive to the SCSI controller.
Nothing broke! But I can't figure out how to assign a drive letter
to the SCSI hard drive. The system sees the drive but I can't access
it because it hasn't got a drive letter. Oh I'm gona feel stupid
when I find the answer to this one! I tried to do it with the
system device manager window and it would not allow me to enter the
drive letter. The doc that came with the controller gives no help.
I've followed the step by step but no luck. The last step says
enjoy using the controller with Windows95 but I'm not having any fun
yet! :-)
Thanks,
Dave S

re.0: I've played this game with IDE devices - why should SCSI be different ;-) Try disconnecting the CDROM and remove it from the device mangler and then re-boot. If it works then add back the CDROM. Also check your startup files (if you still have them - they are not needed for WIN95) or just rename them - very often CDROM software is loaded at startup.

re.1:
Thanks for the hints. This all seems a little silly but it is win95
and a lot of things don't make much sense to me, so I'll try what
you've suggested. Although, my biggest fear about doing this is that
I won't be able to add the CDROM back after I remove it from the device
manager.
The CDROM is not there when I boot to DOS but is there when I exit my
DOS screen and win95 has started. So, I guess that win95 startup is
where devices get drive letters, other than A and C.
I hope I don't have to got through this every time I add something to
my external SCSI bus.
Thanks again,
Dave S
