This is my latest project. I have an Emulex TC02 that

with a pertec formatted Qualstar tape drive, model 1260.
The TC02 is plugged into a Vax 4000/400, hobbyist openvms version
7.2. It is curious but when I start the Vax it does not see the TC02,
this is at the console prompt stage, >>>> show dev does not list the

correct?
Sounds like it can see the controller, but not the tape drive.
Check the cabling between the controller and the drive (make sure the
cables arent upside down or something stupid like that), and make sure
the drive has power.
Anyway when I boot the Vax VMS does list an MSA0: drive but it is not
online or available, just what does this mean?
I also have a Dilog DQ3153, but no cables to attach the drive.
Anyone have success with hooking a Qualstar to a Vax or PDP?
