- I have a very similar setup, 486/33, AHA1542B, 2 SCSI drives and an Archive
- Viper SCSI tape drive. The disks are at 0 & 1, the tape drive was at 4. No
- amount of coaxing convinced the tape drive to work. I then changed its SCSI
- address to 2, as implied in the install file (they mention dumping from tape
- via /dev/ras2a) and it worked immediately. Perhaps the SCSI driver requires
- consequative addresses?
-
- By the way, accessing /dev/as1a does attach the second drive for me as well,
- but I haven't got it working yet...
