- I have a Quantum Q280 and an Archive 5495 Tape Backup system that I am
- having major problems getting to work with my A3000. Any help on the
- following questions would be greatly appreciated. :)
-
- Both of these units were removed from a Counterpoint Unix box.
- When the Q280 is hooked to the bus on powerup, the machine hangs with
- the HD light on when the drive is queried. By pushing on the power
- cable, the drive looses power for a moment and the system will boot.
- Once booted, HDToolbox will do the same thing when it queries the drive.
- The drive seems to low level format OK after this and will verify about
- 69000 blocks before it locks up. In any case it is never recognized on
- bootup and always locks up the system when any partitioning or complex
- information is saved to the drive. The drive worked in the Counterpoint,
- so I assume the drive is ok. If anyone has a Q280 hooked up to their Ami,
- I would be interested in the how's and why's and jumper connections. :)
-
- The Archive has an Emulex board hooked to it. The SCSI connects
- into the Emulex and the Emulex to the Archive. When on the bus, the
- machine will not boot at all. Any hints or help again is appreciated.
-
- Thanks all. Please use Email to respond as I do not
- read that much news. :)
