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

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

... have you tried with a real SCSI drive?

I thought I remembered something like that but I couldn't find the info.
Thanks for the reminder. I suspect VMS 7.3 maybe works with hard disks on
KZQSA whereas 5.4 perhaps does not. I may try to emulate a CD-ROM to see if
that at least works.
Thanks
