Subject: Help with IBM SCSI drive

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]

Hi all,
  I am repairing an IBM brand drive, and need a little help.  The drive
  had Coke (tm) spilled on it while it was running, and fried the
  controller board.  After dis-assembling the controller board (an
  interesting experience), cleaning the burned areas, doing a little
  solder work to fix burned traces, I've gotten the drive to spin up
  and respond to commands.  I can read and write to sector 0.
  I was ecstatic!  After all, this drive was presumed DOA.
  But, after breathing life back into it, I find I have NO info about
  the drive!  Without more info, I can't tell my computer enough about
  it to make use of it.  Here is what I do know about it:

  Vendor  : IBM
  Product : 0661371	Rev : B O
  ANSI version : 2
  ECMA verion  : 0
  ISO version  : 0
  Capacity: 312Mb
  Sector Size: 512 bytes
  Last Sector: 625355
  Supports Synchronous data transfers.
  Supports Linked commands.
  Device uses hard resets.

  This is a 3 1/2" drive.
  You must issue the Start Unit ($1B) Command before the drive will
  spin up.

  While the Capacity is 312Mb, the calculated capacity is 305Mb... and
  IBM considders this drive a 320Mb capacity drive!

  I'm looking for any and all info on the drive.  Things like:
  Number of cylinders.
  Number of surfaces.
  Number of sectors per track.
  Access time.
  Rotation speed.

  I've done a Mode Sense ($1A) on the drive to get the number of blocks
  and block length.  Usually, this command gives Vendor Parameters as
  well, one of which is the Geometry of the drive ($84)... However,
  this parameter is not present.  The only Vendor Parameters present are:
    $81 = Error Recovery Parameters
    $82 = Disconnect/Reconnect Control
    $87 = ?
    $88 = ?
    $80 = ?

  Also, there are some straps on the back of the drive that I can't
  identify:
    :::.:
    124ab

  124 = SCSI ID
    a = ?
    b = ?

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  Also, is there any place I could get a list of ALL the Vendor
  Parameters for the Mode Sense?  I know of a few, but I'd really
  like to know more...

  Thanks in advance.

i would suggest that a busmaster dma controller (such as the adaptec 1542)
could improve your io. certainly the disks upper limit will hold

I have a FD-1660 controller and am looking for some information about
the type of performance I should expect from the controller.  It is
hooked to a Rodime 3259T and is giving XFER rates of:
	@860KB/s - Norton SI
	@795KB/s - CoreTest
The system I am using these components in is a 386/40 with an AMI BIOS.
I was hoping to have transfer rates of 1MB/s or more, is this possible
with the FD1660?  Are there settings that I can implement to alter the
DMA?  The information I received with the card and drive is a bit
limited, so any help from users on the net is appreciated.

Further, if anyone can supply me the phone# for Future Domain I would
appreciate that as well.

Please respond to me personally rather than posting to the net.

Thanks alot and Merry Christmas,

Greetings.

I was wondering about any differences in the 1540b and the 1542b.  It would
seem that the only differences is the presence of a floppy-controller.  Is
this true?  All of the drivers that I have seen for the card (OS/2 and 386BSD)
make no distinction between cards.  

Can anyone answer this question?

- In the case of ISC, embedded support consists of a space.c file for the
- aha1540, for configuring it into the kernel.

	It also includes a Driver.o, in /etc/conf/pack.d/aha1540.  Use
kconfig to configure the high performance disk drivers for bet
performance.

-                                             It runs, I think, as an
- ST-506 (right??) until you specifically configure the kernel for it.  I
- believe this has been the situation since 2.0.2, maybe longer.

	Actually, the aha154x is recognized early in the boot sequence
(after the bootstrap loader has loaded the kernel, and during the
device probes), and is run natively from the start.  It isn't
optimally configured for any system, since it is set up to install
on a 4M system, but it does use "real" aha154x commands and interfaces
from the very start.  This has been true since at least 2.0.2.

	Remember, to use the ST506 emulation, the BIOS needs to be
running, and UNIX doesn't use the BIOS..

  A common problem. Many 286/386/486 chipsets can't deal with mixed 8-bit and
16-bit RAM/ROM within each of the 128Kb high segments (A000-BFFF, C000-DFFF,
E000-FFFF). Since your video board ROM is at C000 and the only addresses for
the Adaptec are in the C/D range, you're stuck. See if you can configure your
video board in 8-bit mode (there is usually a jumper). If that doesn't work,
move it to an 8-bit slot (making sure the extra connector doeesn't short out
anything nearby when it's hanging loose).

 Beware, SOme PC SCSI interface also use DB-25 for the external (like Future

one, you can get from almost any Mac dealer/mail order place and known as system

I would suggest using two single ended/differential converters. This extends
the cable length to 25 m.

BTW, a question for you hardware wizards: assume a setup like this:

T---+----/================/----+----T

Where the T's are the terminators, the -- stand for single ended and
the == for differential; the +'s are a connection to a controller
and the /'s are SE/D converters.

What is the maximum cable length? 6m for each -- segment, plus
25 m for ===? Or 25-x m for ===, with x being some value
that converts the --- length into a differential length?

Of course this means that the lengthes are either calculated
from propagation delay (the 25-x case) or from cable factors
like diffusion (the "refresh" case), or both (ending up in some
other value for x).

I've been using CPbackup 7.2 for windows for a while with my Jumbo 120, and
it is really nice. However I will wait for them to release 8.0 as a backup
only package, I don't want the rest of the tools. (I already have norton).
According to tech support they are likely to release the backup as a separate
package some time, as they have always done that in the past.

For now I am happily backing up to my new SCSI tape (Archive Viper 150/250 mb)
using ASPIBIN (tar) to backup both drives to a 250Mb tape, it seems to work well
except system and hidden files are not backed up (but thats ok as I would have
to re-install DOS anyway before doing a restore!). Also it means the 386part???
(the windows permanent swap file) doesn't get backed up, which is a relief. (its 40 Mb or so!)

The file mark positioning seems to work fine so I can extract files from either
c: or D: tar archives by positioning the tape before the restore. and backing
up C: with the /dev/nrct device. (No rewind version).

I just bought one of these drives and have a question. It appears that
unless a tape is inserted in the drive at boot time (on a 486-33 running
MSDOS), the controller (an Adaptec 1542B) will not recognize that the
unit exists. I verified this using Roy's SCSICNTL program and having it
list the available devices. If a tape is in the drive at boot time, 
SCSICNTL lists it as an available device. If no tape is in the drive,   
SCSICNTL doesn't "see" it. 

This is relatively easy to work around by just leaving a tape in the
unit at all times. My questions are:

1) Is this a normal characteristic of the Archive Python?

2) If so, will this cause problems with excess head wear, etc? In
   other words, doesn't the head spin on a helical scan device and
   wouldn't constant contact with a tape cause premature wear on
   the, most importantly, read/write head but also the tape?  

I understand that if both of the above are true, I could just stick a 
tape in the drive when I boot and remove it later, but I tend to 
forget little details like this. If 1) above is true, this seems like
an unfortunate design decision no matter whether 2) is true or not.

I think I saw it in the dkutl subdirtory of one of the simtel sites.

use archie to look for aspisrc.zip and you'll find it, else
email me and I'll see if I can get it to you.
