[comp.periphs.scsi] Help w/ AHA-1540a and DRM-600

pardue@tscs.uucp (Steven Pardue) (05/18/91)

I know that I am tempting fate but what the hell.. right.

I currently have a Adaptec AHA-1540A SCSI controller that I hope to use
with a Fujisu or Micropolis 600 plus megabyte SCSI disk drive...
and I am also looking in to the Pioneer DRM-600 six disk changer on the
same SCSI disk controller.

Now, if the above will work correctly under DOS 3.31 or greater.. 
at some future date I would like to add a 150 MB SCSI tape drive to
the system.

Any ideas?

The disk changer will require a device driver to support the commands
for this type of device.  Under DOS, you could do an ASPI device module
easy enough, that would allow support of this deivce.  There are already
many tape modules available, so tape is no problem.
