Hi there, I have the following two piece of devices and wonder if anybody out there can provide me with the necessary information so that I can get them going on a PC compatible and whether or not I need any software drivers to do so. First of all, I have a CDC drive, the model number is CDC 94171-344, when I query it under an utility on the Macintosh it came back with the number CDC 94171-9 5352. I think it is an OEM drive for Honeywell Bull. I need to know what the jumper settings are and how to set them. I would also like to know where the SCSI terminator(s) are. The following is a diagram of the drive's connectors. SCSI terminators? SCSI terminators? | Two pairs of jumpers here. | | | | | | | | SCSI connectors. | | | | | | | | | | V V V V V V V V V ___________________________________________________________________ |####### 0 0 ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ####### | |####### 0 0 ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ####### | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | O O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 | | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 | |___________________________________________________________________| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two pairs of jumpers here follow by a space and 5 pairs of jumpers. | | | | Power connectors. Secondly, I have a streaming tape drive, again when I query it using the Macinitosh utility, I got back Wangtek SCSI-36 5150ES version ESB6. The following is a diagram of the drive connectors, I have no idea where the SCSI terminator(s) are. I have no idea how to set the jumpers and is there any software out there which I use it to do some simple backups. __________________________________________________________________ | oooooooooooooooooooooooo 0 0 0 | | oooooooooooooooooooooooo 0 0 0 O O O O| |__________________________________________________________________| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Power connectors. | | | | Three pairs of jumpers here. | | SCSI connectors ------- I am going to use the two devices above under DOS on an AST Premium 286 running DOS 4.01. I have a 1542b adapter with the Master Kit. I also have the SCSICNTL.EXE posted here last February. Currently I am using the diskette controller on the motherboard for both the 1.44M and 1.2M drives. Please either post your reply in this newsgroup or e-mail me. Thank you very much. -Jack -- * > BITNet : cscojoc@buacca \ Jack C.
