I installed qnx4 under vmware workstation 5 on Windows2000 host.
After that I add to vwware virtual machine scsi drive with two qnx4
partitions as raw divice.
Running qnx4 and scan pci with utilites SHOW_PCI, it says:
Class = Mass Storage (SCSI)
Vendor ID = 104bh, BusLogic
Device ID = 1040h, BT946C SCSI controller
PCI index = 0h
IO @ 1060h MEM @ ec800000h
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 9

thats because vmware create its own virtual SCSI adapter insteat of all
other real, furtunelly qnx4 understand this virtual adapter with driver
Fsys.aha4scsi!
http://www.qnx.com/developers/hardware_support/qnx4/qnx4hardware.html?catego
ry=FileSys#3

But when a run this driver like
Fsys.aha4scsi aha4scsi -a1060

Host machine send message!!!!!
-------------------------
Sorry, the guest operating system has requested an unimplemented operation
be performed by the virtual SCSI adapter; either install a more up-to-date
BusLogic/Mylex device driver in the guest or remove all virtual SCSI devices
from your virtual machine configuration.
-----------------------

What is the up-to-date BusLogic/Mylex device driver?
Why old-to-date BusLogic/Mylex device driver is not work?

Can you please explain your use of physical disks using IDE "drives" in vmware.

I'm trying to do the same but can't figure out how. I'm using vmware workstation 6 and QNX 6.3. I'm trying to add a "Hard disk" using the option "Use a physical drive" and it choses a SCSI device without giving me the option of using IDE. My device is a USB compact flash adapter, and it does exactly the same with a USB thumbdrive. Are you using a PCMCIA adapter with a CF card for your hard disk?

Regards, Ross

In my case I'm using QNX on VMware with a physical disk, but the disk
I'm using is an actual IDE hard disk.

I just tried the same and saw the same. If I had to hazard a guess,
Windows treats these devices like SCSI devices more than IDE devices and
VMware won't translate between IDE and SCSI for physical disks. As far
as I know there is no Neutrino driver for the VMware SCSI controller.

Thanks for the info. I couldn't manage to format the CF card with an image and boot from it when added to my VMware image as a SCSI disk. The solution I found was to use a PCMCIA adapter and then it allowed me to add the disk as an IDE drive.
