- Summary: Archive QIC-150 with AT cont. not recognised at boot. ?
- Keywords: 386bsd, archive, tape
-
-
- Recently I've installed 386bsd.01 on my machine without any major
- problems. Configuration 486DX33 with 512k cache, OPTi, AMI, (generic
- no name board), video with Trident 8900C, SMC fdd controller and IDE,
- noname I/O, noname internal 2400 modem and WD caviar 2170 hdd. All seems to
- work fine except for the tape drive I've borrowed from work.
-
- It is an Archive QIC 150 tape drive with an AT controller ( not SCSI ).
- Tape works fine under DOS ( on my machine ). I've set all the jumpers
- on the controller to the values found in INSTALLATION script
- -0x300,IRQ5,DRQ/DACQ1.
- The drive is not recognised during boot and not accessible later.
-
- Am I doing something wrong or is something else at fault.
-
- Thanks in advance for all replies and pointers.
