Did you reboot after installing Here & Now? This must be done for Here & Now to take effect.
If you have a Novell Network check to see if Here & Now is loading before or after Novell in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and change the order.
Check the CONFIG.SYS file. If the driver that came with your host adaptor has not been remarked out, do so. If two removable media drivers are present they will each load a drive letter for the device.
If MAC_ASPI.SYS is the only driver loading, try putting the switch /R:1 after it. This will force it to reserve only one drive letter per device.
No
No. The reason for this is that Here & Now uses its own redirector, and you cannot redirect a redirector like a network will try to.
Yes, version 2.0 now supports Windows 95.
Check with the manufacturer of the card. When you are booting from the drives attached to the Host adaptor then the BIOS is controlling the devices. Most cards have a way of setting which SCSI ID numbers are controlled by the BIOS at startup and which wait for the ASPI manager to load. This is a function of the card and support should come from the manufacturer of the card. We do not support drives that are controlled by the BIOS.
Here & Now only works with Host Adaptor Cards that have an ASPI manager. The Here & Now driver (MAC_ASPI.SYS) needs to be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS immediately following the ASPI Manager in the CONFIG.SYS file.
We stress this point due to the fact that Windows 95 has a "protected mode" Manager/Driver as part of the operating system. In most cases, simply hooking up a SCSI drive to the SCSI card will allow the drive to be seen by Windows 95. But not Macintosh media. The MAC_ASPI.SYS driver requires a "real mode" ASPI Manager to be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file before it can be loaded and recognize Macintosh media. And if your SCSI card is ASPI compliant, it will have been shipped with a floppy/CD-ROM containing the ASPI Manager.
No, the formatter that ships with Here & Now supports only floppy disks.
Was there a dot in the name (example: sales figures for dec.95)? The letters after the dot will become the extension.
No. Here & Now does not translate files. It is a file transfer utility, allowing Macintosh volumes to be seen on the IBM PC. It is the responsibility of the application trying to open the file to perform any conversions. In the above case, it very well might work. Certain versions of WordPerfect for Macintosh can be opened using converters supplied with Microsoft Word for Windows. Check your application's manual for further details on what files it can open.
