I had put a few feelers out there a few months ago, but was met with silence. It was ominous. You could hear crickets chirping. ;-) One company (Scottish Data Systems) may or may not have the manual; I offered them like $50 + S/H for a real copy, or $40 for an e-mailed copy, but never heard back from them. I may have another source for the manual, but I won't know for a few more weeks. I have not been able to get a FULL description of this board's capabilities. I do know that at least half of the board functions as a SCSI tape controller, with TMSCP emulation, and have been able to get that part of the functionality partially working. Here is what I have so far: SW-2 is a 10-position dip switch at the back of the board. The switch settings are backwards from the norm. Thus, OFF/OPEN switches are a logical "1". 1 = OPEN = OFF 0 = CLOSED = ON Here is the bit decoding: If you copy & paste this into a fixed font (not true type), this should line up properly. I use Notepad in Windoze. SWITCH 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 X 2 1 --------------------------------------------- BIT 1 4 2 1 4 2 1 4 2 1 4 O O C C O C O C - C C 7 4 5 0 0 Note the missing bit in the address selection, which correlates to the TMSCP addressing scheme. The 50-pin connector towards the front of the controller appears to be single-ended SCSI. The connector set further back is probably a differential SCSI interface, based on the DS75176's I see directly behind the connector. There are interrupt select jumpers at the back; the jumper closest to the edge is BR4. There is also a BEVENT jumper near the back, center of the board. I have no idea what the function of SW1 is. There is a row of jumpers along the right edge, which may be LUN selection. I'm guessing the jumpers at the front of the board are terminator / terminator power jumpers. So far, I've been able to get the controller address set, and have attached an Exabyte 8200 tape drive to it. When I attempt to boot a tape, it does seem to send commands to the tape drive, and the tape starts to seek. After several seconds however, the processor halts. If I boot RSTS/E, it hangs during INIT before ever getting to a prompt. Clearly, further poking around is required. If anyone has any insight, it would be appreciated, especially the current position of any of the jumpers on your board, and settings for SW1. I will keep you posted. . . T
