I just received a SPARCstation 1+ upgrade from a SUN-3. The SUN-3 had a
shoebox attached to it with a QIC-24 tape mechanism. it is one of the
"newer" tape mechanisms with I believe the tape drive from Maxtor.
I recall reading that shoebox's tape drives and SPARCstations do not work
together in some or all cases. Since I have yet to get it functioning I
am asking if it is possible, and if so what are any "tricks" that one
needs to apply for it to work???
Here's another complicating factor if I can get the shoebox functioning, I
also have a CDROM drive. Does the order matter when attaching SCSI
units???
Thanks for any assistance or pointers.
