- I have a 60 Meg Identica tape streamer made by Scientific Micro Systems of USA
- with an EVEREX EV-833 controller card. It seems to be QIC-36.
-
- I would like to use this with 386BSD. The tape driver which comes with 386BSD
- tries to work but gives critical tape errors. I have tried the wt.c patched by
- D. Muntz for the archive tape drive and card but that just crashed the system.
-
- Has someone successfully got an EVEREX controller to work with 386BSD ?
- Or can someone please tell me where to get programming information for the
- EV-833 from Everex so I can write my own ?
-
- Any help or suggestions will be welcome.
