Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1ao4umINNaua@network.ucsd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ucsd.edu I managed to score a Sysgen SC4000 SCSI-to-QIC-02 controller, an Adaptec Stand-Alone-Tape-Controller QIC-02-to-QIC-36 board, and an Archive 5945C drive. This bizarre combination is what Sun used to use in their really old (Sun-2/68010 days) tape backup boxes. When I connect this mess up to my Adaptec controller and try to bood 386BSD with Julian's SCSI package, the error light on the SC4000 comes on, and the computer just keeps telling me that command timed out. The light on the Adaptec just stays on. Has anyone gotten this or a similar setup to work? What firware revisions are in your controllers, and what jumper/switch settings did you use? - Brian
