OK, I've got a REAL problem here and would REALLY appreciate some
assistance...
Background: A Wyse 3225-150T running Interactive UNIX 2.0.2
150 Megabyte ESDI (Micropolis, I think) hard disk
150 Megabyte SCSI (Archive QIC36) Tape
SC402 Archive Tape Controller
I install the system software, and kernal configuration
software and run kconfig. I select the high performance
disk driver (hpdd) option.
I tell the system that the hard disk controller is a ESDI,
and that I have a SCSI Host Adaptor (with tape) also attached.
The system wants to know if it's either an Future Domain or
Adaptec controller.
Since it's neither...
Questions:
Do I have to junk the Archive SC402 controller and get either
a Future Domain or Adaptec controller?
Will an Adaptec run an Archive QIC36 150 megabyte tape unit?
(And how much does one cost??)
Will I have any other problems getting this configuration to
work??? (And, am I missing something simple somewhere???)
Please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That was unnecessary, and in addition won't do anything. > Will I have any other problems getting this configuration to > work??? (And, am I missing something simple somewhere???) Call Adaptec or you VAR. Ask him/her for the Archive drivers for ISC 2.0.2. Install those. The problem will disappear. The VP150 drive with VP402 controller is a QIC02 drive, not SCSI. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 566-8911], Voice: [+1 708 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
