It's extremely important to use a head cleaner about every 30 tapes on the
Exabyte.  If you do this religiously they seem to be quite reliable.  If you
don't, you will have to have it repaired.

Help!

I'm seeking 1/2" tape drives which will use 6250 cpi recording density.
They should work on start/stop mode (no streaming). 
Interaface: sigle ended SCSI. Is there any model available.

Thanks in advance,

Try TD Systems, 24 Payton St, Lowell, MA 01853 (508) 937-9465
I just received some information from them on SCSI switches that
also include differential/single end conversion logic. I don't know

All the device driver is loaded low.

And I already exclude all the video memory from QEMM that the Stealth

Since I can not get QEMM to install,I only have a poor 550k low mem

We have had a DPT card with 2.5MB of memory for the past 3 years in one 
system or another.  When we have benchmarked the throughput it has come up
slower than the WD1007a wrt sustained throughput.

However, with that card in the system, the system feels noticably faster,
compiles run faster, etc, etc.  I think the performance gain is due to the
fact that the caching controller caches inode writes (which are usually 
sync'd by the kernel as part of the file system hardening).  Yes, this
could result in a problem if we lost power (doesn't matter since we have
a UPS).  

The performance gains were somewhere in the arena of 20 percent, but I 
don't have the figures lying around to show it. 

I guess the way to put is is that if you are designing a system that is
going to have an average amount of disk access, the caching controller is
probably going to help.  However, if you are designing a system that is
going to need to attain a sustained high level of throughtput to the disks
which exceeds the capacity of the cache, I would say that you don't need or
want the cacheing controller.

Another solution to the disk i/o problem is to use a SCSI system with 
several small disks that are striped.  This setup will give you the best
of all worlds.

You're right, but you always need some parameters to get your drive going,
and the SCSI-2 spec states that "It is recommended that the INQUIRY data be
returned even though the peripheral device may not be ready for other commands."
Which, BTW, is required by many systems. And don't forget that the magnetic
storage is inherently unreliable - at least as compared to silicon storage.
You'll want to have a known starting point to bootstrap all the error correction
mechanisms.
So, it boils down to a price/performance issue what sort of nonvolatile
storage you use - you'll need some anyway as long as you don't want to be
inflexible or potentially incompatible to some systems.

I don't know about in the context you say, but the 1542 series are ISA
Bus Master DMA controllers and can address in the range 0-16MB of physical
memory.

So through the register interface to the controller (ie what a UNIX
driver uses), you will be able to DMA anywhere in and out of the 
lowest 16MB of physical address space.

As the board is an ISA Bus Master, no amount of extended DMA registers
on the system board (either ISA or EISA) will allow you to get
above this as 16MB is the highest address the controller can see
from the BUS side and it does the DMA...

For full address space DMA, try the 1740/1740A EISA SCSI controllers
in enhanced mode. If you must use ISA and don't care about performance,
try a programmed I/O rather than DMA access controller (I think the 1522
is one of these).

The switching of a live SCSI bus is difficult.  An A/B box is a bad
idea.  You would be much better with something like the expensive, 
electronically isolated shuttle devices from MDB Systems in SanJose.

Black Box has a device that is ill suited to switching SCSI.  A stupid
customer of ours bought one and used it to destroy his data.  Perhaps
Black Box is smart enough to not sell it now.

480 kByte/s is for the Exabyte EXB-8500. Actually, I think that should be
500 kByte/s. That's without any compression, by the way...

that makes ALMOST as much sense as training wheels on Indy cars... ya,
battery backed ram on a HARD DISK... sheesh.

they write that info on the disk, on Maxtor drives, when you do a low
level format, the drive reads the info, holds it in ram, and then
writes it back at the end of the format, to change the info, reburn
the rom with new info, start a llfmt, kill it part way, and re-llfmt
it again, since there's no drive info on the drive, it uses the
info in the rom as default.  I've done this.

Subject: Why won't SCSI work with my 386 MB?
Date: 6 Oct 92 23:15:57 GMT
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada



I'm have a problem with a couple SCSI controllers that I hope someone can
shed some light on.

One card is a Future Domain 885 and the other is an Adaptec 1542A, the
operating system is ISC 3.2 2.2.1.

The problem is, neither SCSI controller will work in my 386-25 machine,
but both work just fine in my 386-40.  

The boot devices on both systems are IDE drives with SCSI as the secondary
controller.

When booting ISC on the 386-40, the drivers properly report the number of SCSI
drives, on the 386-25, nothing is reported, I've even gone to the point
of moving the IDE boot drive from the -40 to the 25 and removing all other
unnecessary drivers and boards to ensure no conflicts.  
I have two motherboards exactly alike of the 386-25 model, and SCSI doesn't
work on either of them.  

I had assumed the problem was likely DMA, but then I was told that the
FD 885 doesn't use DMA.

Any ideas as to why SCSI doesn't work in these machines?  I haven't tried
them with any other OS other than ISC.

Thanks....Charles

        Is there any external Ethernet unit equipped with 8 bits SCSI
interface? It's going to be connected to Future Domain TMC-950 SCSI-1
(or 8 bits SCSI-2) controller on my notebook computer.

        Pointers are appreciated.

  Charlie your system and use is very similar to mine.I use Hypercache
and like you it won't work on the aspi drives.Roger Cross the author of
Hyper is working on that issue and perhaps soon will have a version
out.Finally I would strongly recommend you look at dosmax17.zip for
increased headroom.It has increased my expanded memory windows to
566k from 512 and conventional from 57 to 94.Worth the look if you
have any questions email me.
