  The 5150EQ has a QIC-02 interface. There are a large number of interface
cards available which differ in some subtle ways. Among the cards I know
of are Everex, Wangtek, Colorado Memory Systems (CMS), Core, and Tecmar.

  I don't know which card 386BSD was developed for. There may be some dif-
ference between that card and yours. You should also make sure you don't
have an interrupt or DMA conflict between the tape controller and any other
device. Also, the common I/O ports for the card are 300H or 338H, which may
conflict with an Adaptec 1542.
