HELP! I've got a problem with getting an "ArchiveVP QIC Stream" tape drive installed in my AT. The problem seems to be with conflicting interupts/DMA/address etc.. but I don't fully understand all of these. It seems the tape controller is conflicting with my IO board. When I take the IO board out the tape drive works perfectly. The tape controller is set up for IRQ3 DMA3 ADDR:200 initially, and I have changed all of these except the address without success. The IO board has one parallel two serial ports. I am also able to change the IRQ/DMA of the IO board with jumpers but this doesn't help either. Hardware interupts as reported by Nortons SI: Number Address Name Owner IRQ00 0070:02c5 timer output 0 DOS sys area IRQ01 18ec:084d keyboard FILEC.EXE IRQ02 0070:040c [cascade] DOS sys area IRQ03 0070:04ad COM2 " IRQ04 12f5:0e9c COM1 MOUSE.COM IRQ05 0070:05ef LPT2 D S A IRQ06 0070:0690 Floppy disk D S A IRQ07 0070:0f13 LPT1 D S A IRQ08 0000:0000 Realtime clock Unused ... Can anyone give me more information so I can get the thing working. Thanks
