[comp.sys.next] TEAC 155 tape on NeXT?/ SCSI compat. database

cyliax@ecn.purdue.edu (Ingo Cyliax) (02/14/91)

I have also tried a SCSI tape drive on the NeXT. It's a Archive 2150,
the kind used on Suns. It finds the drive when booting, but then when
I try to access it I gets a I/O errors. I didn't mess around with it too
much, since the drive was a loaner and I had to return it.

Why don't we start a list of all the 'supported' SCSI devices that we 
try to hook up on the NeXT. We can also include SCSI disk drives. Here 
is a list of things that I have tried:

			Type	NeXT 1.0	NeXT2.0
						'030		'040
Exabyte 8200		tape	yes		yes?		???
Fujitsu 226[13]SA 	disk	yes		yes		???
Maxtor	LXT207S		disk	yes		yes		???
Teac 155		tape	no		no		???
Teac FD235JS		floppy	yes b)		yes a)		???

Notes:
	a)	needs a program to initialize the drive properly
	b)	only with special program that use /dev/sg0


Maybe we can put it on one of the archive sites. and have someone update
it occasionally.
