I recently picked up a Colorado Tape drive with Firmware rev 40. Unfortunately
it's just different enough from my other drive. Can anyone tell me how to
configure the jumpers for a "B" drive. This version looks (on the edge) like
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
1 o o o 3
4 o o o 6
My other drive had 2 rows of 5 pins, not just three. Thanks, steve

It indicates that all three pairs should be bridged for the terminated case and they should be left unbridged for the unterminated case. It appears that they just got rid of the two pairs which formerly served as drive selects. If they just hardwired the old default of DS1, then you already have a B: address. (DS0 would have been A:.) -- Steve Pacenka, Cornell U.
