Does anyone know whether a TS11 tape drive is a supported device
on an 8530 's UNIBUS using a DWBUA adapter (currently running V5.0-2) ?
We can init the tape but when trying to mount it the process hangs.
Online diagnostic (EVAAM if I recall correctly) also runs without any
problems !?
Besides the TS11's controller interface the UNIBUS also contains an
LP11 interface and 3 DR11-W interfaces.All of these other interfaces
are working properly.
Local FIELD Service and support are currently 'breaking their neks' over
this having fully checked all hardware and possible configuration problems.
The latest word is that they will try and 'simulate' our condition on
one of their own machines to see whether or not they run into the same problem.
Could this be a driver problem ?
