Hello. I have one problem I'd like somebody could
help me to solve. I have one TK50-GA external
SCSI tape unit + Microvax 3100 Desktop.
The Microvax can't detect the TK50. This tape unit
works perfectly. I have the cover of it retired, and
I have located the ribbon that aid to select the
SCSI address of the unit. The Microvax
haven't attached any other external unit, and
internally have two disks.
How can I know if the unit is attached ?
The SHOW DEVICES in the boot ROM don't says
nothing.
Greetings

Some more datapoints, please:
- Do you have a TK50 or a TK50Z (I think the "Z" is the indication that
it is indeed the real SCSI variant)? Does it have an SCSI-ID-switch on
the back?
- What model is your '3100? Just plain "MicroVAX3100", or is there some
M-Number (like "M40")?
- What *does* "SHOW DEV" say?
- Do you have one or two SCSI-Busses? Or, maybe easier to answer: Does
the machine have a floppy drive installed?
- Does one (or both) of the internal disks "disappear" whenever you plug
in the TK50?
Anyway, usually problems with SCSI-Devices are due to either termination
problems, bad cables or conflicting SCSI-ID's.
regards
