I am having a problem configuring this tape drive in a i386/33 running
SCO XENIX V/386 2.3.2. We have tried the Chantal Scsi Subsystem
Software, with an Adaptec controller, which works on this system, but
won't work on a Texas Instruments 1300 Scsi (the end destination for the
tape drive), due to the TI proprietary Scsi controller on the TI.
We tried the Bi-Tech Smart Scsi Host Interface Adapter Model 2120 and the
Bi-Tech device driver, which didn't work because we were sent a Unix
device driver instead of Xenix. [When they ported from Xenix to Unix,
they lost the source for Xenix version] 8^( I am still awaiting for
Bi-Tech to sent me a working Xenix device driver.
However, I am running out of time. My client has been waiting two months
and is beginning to wonder if his tape drive is ever going to work.
What I need is a simple device driver, which will not take over the
Operating System and a controller which will not care about other Scsi
Host adapters in the same system.
Any suggestions? If you don't feel this is of general interest, email me
and will summarize.
