2.11 BSD on an 11/93 with an CMD SCSI Module

The saga continues!!!  I really don;t remember it being this
hard back in the good ole' days but then we had lots of real
hardware to work with and systems weren't kludges like what
I have in my house.  :-)

I am currently working with E11 V7.3.  My prime interest is
in getting a 2.11 system running so I can use tcopy(1) to
copy tape images to my one real tape drive.  It is SCSI so
it is going to be TMSCP on the real system.  It is also
TMSCP on the E11 system.

The problem is I don't seem to be able to do anything on E11
to make 2.11 BSD actually have more than one functional tape.

I have tried two TMSCP tapes.  I have tried two TMSCP controllers.
I have tried one TMSCP tape and various configurations of other
tape drives.  the result is always the same.  I hcae tried building
a kernel with all the tapes included.  I have tried building kernels
with two tapes at a time with different combinations of TMSCP and
the others.  None of them ever come up with more than one drive.

I especially don't understand the "No CSR" for tms Unit 0.
If I remove the entry for Unit 1 in the E11.ini file then it
recognizes Unit 0.  But never both and never any other tape
drive.

Is there something in 2.11 that I am missing?
