OK, I'm stumped. What are the switch setting for the 4-switch DIP switch
on the back of a RRD-40 drive? I managed to come up with a working
configuration, but how safe is SCSI address 0 under VMS? I know the
Hobbyist CD at least boots through the hardware search in Standalone
backup
(didn't have time to install tonite). Also
what's the 4th switch for?
if you have only four of them, should be parity. on the RRD-42 you have
five of them, the fifth switching the 512/2048 bytes mode.
I'm not sure about the rrd40, but hope it helps...
cheers,
emanuel
