Rob,
Might be an issue with the card. The KZQSA was officially only supported
for CD-ROM and Tape.

(towards the bottom)...
... have you tried with a real SCSI drive?

Subject: SCSI2SD on VMS 5.4
I have been experimenting with a SCSI21SD V6 card trying to get it to work
on
a VAX 4000-200 running VMS 5.4 using a KZQSA. It seems
to recognise that
there is a SCSI device there, but any attempt to access the device from
VMS
5.4 results in a Fatal Drive Error. I tried booting a
VMS 7.3 image from
the
SCSI2SD card and that worked.
Obviously I have played with some of the settings, like SCSI2 mode etc,
but I
have not found anything that works. Has anyone
succeeded in getting this
board to work on VMS 5.4?
Thanks
Rob
