I have a 3B2/400 computer running Unix System V 3.2, with a SCSI card...
I have noticed the following disks:
SCSI Host Adaptor Utilities - Seems A-OK
SCSI Cartridge Tape Utilities - Totally gone, it's TOAST..
I am right now thinking about re-partitioning my
drives, and backing up to SCSI TAPE for doing the
restore... If I do this, will the 3B2/400 be able to
access my SCSI 60 Meg Cartridge tape unit?
I think the answer is no, and that if I attempt this, I
can kiss my SCSI tape drive goodbye forever! Which would
not make my day..
Also, one of my manuals mentions another disk called
AT&T 3B2 SCSI Disk Controller Utilities is needed in order
to make a SCSI hard disk work on this machine... The
book's olde and is probably for UNIX Rel 3.0.. Does this
apply to Release 3.2???
Talking with AT&T, they tell me I need Network Support
Utilities to make the SCSI card work?? I am asking for a
second opinion on this on??? It seems rather 'strange' to
require a NETWORKING disk to make SCSI function??
I am also DESPERATE for a StarLan (1Megabit) MS-DOS
Client Diskette... That's all I need to FINALLY make
starlan work here...!!
Any help would be greatly be appreciated...
Cheers.......
