Setup: AMD 386/40, 4Mb
1542B + Maxtor 213Mb SCSI (ID=0) + Wangtek 5150ES (ID=1)
120Mb Rodime IDE as boot disk
Problem: disk is found at bootup, nothing about the tape
unable to get anything going with the tape drive
(if you have a disktab for the Maxtor I'd be interested in that also!!!)
What do I have to do to get the 5150ES going? Should it appear as as1 on
boot? Or do I have to do change something for this to be possible? If
you are reading this on Friday night (12/11) and can help, please send me
email! I'm snowed in with a working 386bsd and tons of source on tape,
with a so-far non-working SCSI tape drive! Aaaaargh!
Thanks a lot,
pat
