- A while back there was a post regarding GTAK100, the GNU TAR port to OS/2
- that supports tape drives on SCSI adapters. I replied to that posting,
- saying that since I got the DOS version working, it was probably easy to get
- the protected mode version working. BOY, WAS I WRONG!!!
-
- I spent 3 hours last night trying to get it to work on my system. My
- configuration is as follows:
-
- Fivestar 386/25 w/AMI BIOS, 5/89 vintage (Yes, it does work!;)
- 10MB RAM (4MB-9chip, 4MB-3chip, 2MB-3chip 256K - no crashes yet)
- 213MB Maxtor IDE drive
- Internal Zoom 2400 Modem
- DFI SVGA (Trident 8800 chipset)
- Adaptec AHA-1522 SCSI adapter
- Archive Viper 2150S Tape Drive
-
- I've got the Adaptec BIOS enabled at C800, boot disabled, adapter
- SCSI address at 7, Tape drive address at 0.
-
- I'm loading in my config.sys via BASEDEV the os2scsi.dmd, os2aspi.dmd,
- aha152x.add, DEVICE=c:\os2\aspitape.sys TAPE$0 0 S0, and
- SET TAPE=+++TAPE$4. When booting, aspitape responds like it's loading, and
- I get no response from the ASPI manager or the AHA152X driver. When I do a
- TAPEP STATUS, it responds saying no driver loaded.
-
- What am I doing wrong? The docs for the adaptec aspi beta and the newest
- aha152x drivers just say copy the new over the old, but they don't say
- anything about switches. The AHA1522 came with DOS, Netware and SCO Unix
- drivers, but no OS/2 drivers - therefore no OS/2 docs. The OS/2 readme file
- wasn't much help, either.
-
- Could the adaptec beta os2aspi.dmd be conflicting with IBM's os2scsi.dmd?
-
- Thanks in advance,
