'Assembled my 1st home computer, intending to run DOS and UN*X:
386/33 + WD/FASST2 + Imprimis/334MB + (borrowed) Wangtek 2150S.
(I chose WD-FASST2 for intended-compatibility with other H/W
instead of preferred HA, an Adaptec 1542B.)
I'm a UN*X kinda guy, with little DOS expertise. I'm not finding
any uninterested-parties with correct knowledge of DOS S/W that
will work with this WD/FASST2 HA and drive.
One friend recommended PCTools: on my examination, it didn't seem
to support SCSI tapes.
CDP -- providers of part of FASST2 ROMs and S/W -- mentioned Sytos:
I examined a friend's Syplus package -- which certainly mentioned
Wangteks -- but it didn't appear to support the SCSI Wangteks.
Perhaps I'm not reading these packages correctly. Regardless,
does anyone KNOW of DOS packages that:
- Service SCSI tapes -- I presume the Wangtek manufacture
is irrelevant -- hung off a WD-FASST2 controller.
- Package the data in a 'cpio' compatible form to facilitate
data exchanges with UN*X.
For the moment, I'd like to ignore the options of DOS-emulations
under UN*X. Sure... at some point that's handy, but it's not what
I want to depend on.
