- We have a Hewlett Packard HP 35480A SCSI Dat Drive and am
- attempting to run it off an SGI. We have tested it on IRIS Indigos
- running 4.0.1 and 4.0.5F and a 4D35 running 4.0.4.
-
- With the installation documentation are instructions to reconfigure
- the kernel, more or less copying the paragraph,
- in /usr/sysgen/master.d/tpsc, beginning with -
-
- {DATTAPE, TPDAT,2,8,"HP","HP35480A",0,0,{0,0,0,0},
-
- And replace the first line in the new paragraph with the line
- below:
-
- {DATTAPE, TPDAT,2,8,"HP","HP35480A",0,0,{0,0,0,0},
-
- This works fine, the system knows now knows about the drive.
-
- The recommended switch settings from the supplier are:
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- | DIP Switches | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
- | ----------------------------------------------|
- | SGI Machine | 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 |
- | ----------------------------------------------|
- | Sun, close to | |
- | SCSI mode 1 | 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 |
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- I noticed people have them working, could someone please advise
- me of their DIP switch settings ???
-
- Thanks in advance.
