Could anybody tell me the best place to buy used SCSI Hard drives? I read an
ad in Nuts & Volts during the summer that had 20 Meggers for $65, I beleive    
they were in Arizona, maybe Phoenix. I've lost the ad and would like to find
comparable prices. Can anyone help me?

Email, or post messages here. Thanks.

I recently downloaded GNUtar for DOS. It works wonderfully with the ASPI

how do you get GNUtar to pickup (recognize) hidden files? I have not
seen an option for this in any of the readme docs.

Organization: is sometimes desirable

Hello,
       I have been using an Archive 2150S tape drive with my Amiga 2000 /
GVP 33 MHZ Combo board.  I'm using BTN v2.1 and tar to do backups.  My
problem is "random" but increasingly frequent SCSI PHASE ERRORs which
cause tar to abort the backup operations.  Does anyone out there have
any idea what the problem is?  I've suspected BTN, tar, dirty heads, etc.
I've tried several different things including cleaning the heads, using
different versions of tar, BTN, etc.  Now, I wonder if it is a controller
or tape drive problem.  The tape drive has the -07 ROM if that makes any
difference.

Anyone out there have any helpful suggestions?

We specialize in Unix and SCSI, and frequently sell external SCSI subsytems
for Towers and NCR 3000s and other SCSI machines.  All that is required is
proper termination, and a good idea of what you want to acheive.  The net 
shouldn't be a sales tool, though, so contact me for further info.

As soon as DAT is commonly used for that platform.  For example, we ship

Summary: I need this chip to repair the HD.

X-Newsreader: NN version 6.4.19 #1


Hi All,

I am attempting to find a replacement I.C. for a Seagate ST-157N 40Mb
hard disk which refuses to talk via SCSI. The drive starts up and seeks
OK but attempting to communicate to it is impossible. I bought it cheap
S/H as a external drive for a Mac. I suspect it has had the RS-232
connector of the Mac plugged into the SCSI port (the box has the same
DB-25 connectors) and the +/-15V of RS-232 has fried the chip.

The info on the I.C:

   AVASEM
   V-8500-A
   8941-A
   11734-501

It is a 44 PLCC package. I have access to techos who have replaced surface
mount I.C's, but locating the I.C. is the problem, no-one in Australia has
heard of it. Does anyone know anything about it? A source for replacements?
It is the SCSI bus receiver, with inputs direct from the bus connector.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please email it to:
leigh@psychok.DIALix.oz.au or reply by mail to this posting.

Thanks in advance

I have little experience in writing my own.

Can anyone help?

I have a Toshiba TXM3301E1 CD-ROM drive that I borrowed off one of

have.  My SCSI controller was built by a company called Ballard
Synergy - I bought it about 4 years ago - don't know if they're
still around.  The board came with three drivers, but I've lost the
docs so I don't know exactly what they do.  I think they implement
something called a CAM interface.  The board is based on an NCR
chip - the 53C400, I think.  My machine sees the BIOS just fine on
warm-boot.  There is a simple program called BIOSTEST that sends
simple SCSI messages to a specified target.  Using this program, the
board appears to see the SCSI drive (via Mode Sense) at the correct
address (which can be set via a switch on the back of the drive).

Can anyone help me out here?  I would like to get this working,
and I would also like to know if Ballard Synargy is still around
and, if so, how to contact them.

Hi Netland !

I have a disk problem and seek advice ! I run Dell Unix on two
computers, a 433SE and a 450SE (Dell computers). Everything was okay
on these computers with one drive on each. Then I installed added a
CONNER CP3540 to the 433SE that had already a MICROPOLIS 650Meg
(reference unknown, it's a drive sold by Dell when I ordered the
computer). I started to have 'SCSI : HA 0 - Incoming message not
found' messages on the console (I've heard that this message comes
from the SCSI driver and that a new driver has been released. However,
I'm not able to find it (no ftp access) and Dell France never heard of
it) and when the disk load is very heavy the system hangs !
Of course, I checked terminators, SCSI ID, etc...

I added a HP 1.05 giga disk on the Dell 450SE and I also started to
see 'Incoming message not found' on the console but there everything
runs fine.

Any hint welcome...

Dear netters,

I can get a fairly good deal on an IBM 'Corsair' 3.5" 1 GB SCSI disk

Therefore I would be grateful if someone could answer the following

   ( I already have the ADAPTEC ROMs that will support > 1GB)

2. Does this IBM 'Corsair' disk use the standard SCSI 50-pin connections?


3. How are your experiences with this IBM disk (reliability, noise)?

Hi there!

Anyone know of a tar that works with the Always IN2000 card (in DOS)?
I've tried ASPIBIN and Gnu Tar (gtar), but neither one seems to work
reliably.  I have an Always IN2000 and a Tandberg 3600 tape drive.
I should mention that the ASPI driver from Always Tech. is fairly
new (~3 months old, revision 1.0), so it might have some bugs in it.   
Also, I'm not sure if the tape drive is 100% functional, which is
why I hope to find a tar that reliably works with the IN2000 card so
I can make sure the drive works properly.

Any help will be **GREATLY** appreciated!!!

This question is raised from time to time.

Yes, two (or more) systems can be on the same scsi bus as scsi disk and
tape drives. As long as the scsi requirements are met - cable lengths,
termination and type - the devices can share the scsi bus.

The question should be - Are there any O/S' that will allow the sharing of
file systems? It would not make sense for two hosts to go about treating
shared disks as if they owned the device. Data would be destroyed pretty
quickly.

On the issue of tape devices, however, O/S' tend to give exclusive usage
to an application. In this way, tape drives can be shared much more easily.

Disks can be best shared by having two (or more) partitions on a disk. Each
host "owning" it's own file system.

Hope that this helps.

Hi All,

I am attempting to find a replacement I.C. for a Seagate ST-157N 40Mb
hard disk which refuses to talk via SCSI. The drive starts up and seeks
OK but attempting to communicate to it is impossible. I bought it cheap
S/H as a external drive for a Mac. I suspect it has had the RS-232
connector of the Mac plugged into the SCSI port (the box has the same
DB-25 connectors) and the +/-15V of RS-232 has fried the chip.

The info on the I.C:

   AVASEM
   V-8500-A
   8941-A
   11734-501

It is a 44 PLCC package. I have access to techos who have replaced surface
mount I.C's, but locating the I.C. is the problem, no-one in Australia has
heard of it. Does anyone know anything about it? A source for replacements?
It is the SCSI bus receiver, with inputs direct from the bus connector.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please email it to:
leigh@psychok.DIALix.oz.au or reply by mail to this posting.

Thanks in advance
