What OS are you running? I have the earlier version of the SlimSCSI and could never get it to work during boot-up of OS/2. That OS does not get the PCMCIA drivers in place early enough to run PCMCIA SCSI controllers. This is especially aggravating if you are trying to install OS/2 from CDROM. I had bought the Trantor parallel port SCSI controller (MA-348) prior to the PCMCIA controller. I had intended to sell it after I bought the faster PCMCIA version but, in the end, I kept it because you can use it to install OS/2 from CDROM. I am using the Toshiba XM-3401 with my PCMCIA controller with no problems.
