Check to be sure that the drive is spinning up.  DEC drives do not spin up
automatically on powerup.  To check this, simply pull the drive out, plug it
into a live power adapter, and if you can hear it spin up (you will) then
that's OK.  If it doesn't, then you will need to set the spinup NVRAM bit in
the drive.  You will need some machine that can issue the SCSI command to do
it, I don't believe that there is a jumper for this.

I have an RZ23 running on an Adaptec just fine.  I never tried to use it spun
down, so I don't know if the error you got was a result of spinup problems or
not.

The 1542B replaced the 1542A about 3 years ago.  It is a shorter form

I run a fairly full SCSI system with my Adaptec 1542B.  I have 3 hard disks,
a Viper Streamer tape, an Archive DAT, and a NEC CDR-74.  Everything is working
fine.  The only problem I had at first was getting the termination correct. 
Once it was resolved, I've had a solid system.

I recently purchased a Sumo 16-bit SCSI controller for my 386DX-40
system.  I want to run a Rodime 140mb drive on it.  The controller and 
drive talk, and the enclosed utilities low-level formats the HD ok, but
re-booting results in a HD controller failure message.

The board has jumpers to control BIOS location, I/O memory address, and
IRQ, but all the combinations I've tried fail to work.

1) Does anybody have experience with this card?

2) Any suggestions specific to this card?

3) Any suggestions on an alternate card to try
   (Price is an issue, I'm trying to stay under $100, so Adaptec is out)

	The EISA bus interface is what you mainly see here. The same
	thing can be observed when changing a 1542B to a 1740 (EISA Bus).

	My experience is exactly as the first writer: Cache is only effective

JP14 & JP38 are the jumpers which control spin-up options.  They are:

JP14	JP38
OUT	OUT	Start by ID sequence (delay 11 * id number [auto-sequence])
OUT	IN	Wait for START/STOP UNIT command
IN	X	Start on power application (X = either in or out)

Your drives are probably jumpered OUT IN from some other use.  These drives
come configured from the factory with both jumpers installed (start on power
on).

Other useful jumpers:

JP40		- Enable odd parity if installed
JP18		- User write protect
JP41		- Internal terminator power (drive supplies)
JP34		- External terminator power (from SCSI bus)
JP41 & JP34	- Both installed supplies terminator power to both the drive
		  terminators and the SCSI bus.
JP37 -- JP35	- SCSI drive ID, JP37 is bit 2, JP35 is bit 0  Installed
		  jumper makes the bit a "1".

I have, and have sold, a bunch of these drives.  They're quite nice but a
little dated.

I'm having a problem with a 1542b and a soundblaster pro board. The
problem is that the machine will hang(requiring reboot) whenever the
soundboard is used. Removing the 1542 card clears up the problem. I've
checked the jumpers for the io port, irq and dma channels and they are 
different so I'm at a loss as to where the conflict is. The 1542b always
performs flawlessly whether the soundboard card is present or not.
I load the aspi4 driver low and have tried different combinations of
switches to no avail.

Has anyone gotten this combination to work?  Any insights are greatly 
appreciated.

First off, quit trying the whole thing at once.  Lose the thumbwheels
and put a cable on 1 (ONE) drive with a termination resistor.  If you
get ONE working the other will fall right in.  Take #2 OFF the cable.

Second,  Snatch any other cards out of the box that are not absolutely
neccessary, including serial i/o par cards.  Start with MB, ide/flpy,
display adaptor, and 1522.

This will insure any addressing conflicts are limited to those cards.

You might consider also losing the ide, and attempting setup on a couple
of floppies first with just the 1542 in the box.  The idea is a minimal
configuration that will run the CD-ROM's (boot enabled bios enabled on
the Adaptec)

Don't ever try to do 2 things at once.  Do them 1 at a time.  Keep your
sanity.  If they are somehow conflicting ....

Probably.  No jumper is id = 0 then you can count up in binary on the ID
pins with the jumpers

Nah,  Unless you have the cable on backwards somewhere.  Double check
your pin-1 orientation.  ONE DRIVE AT A TIME.

I'd start with 1 drive, 1 cable, and Terminate on both ends.  Get that
working, and THEN swap the drives and get #2 working. THEN re-jumper and
get both working.  THEN throw the rest of the cards in the machine and
get it all working together.

I have been talking to lots of bad salesfolks lately and here are some
observations:

1) The average sales person doesn't know what they are doing.
2) Many companies that sell network cards don't sale the cables to
	connect the cards (unless it included in a kit)
3) Companies will sell you a monitor that they don't carry a card for
	(Try asking companies about an EGA monitor)
4) Companies will sell you a memory expansion board, and not say
	how much memory you need to run with (that is in the
	instruction book and they won't like opening up the
	product)
5) same as #4, but they don't stock DIPS (that is what they say to you)
6) The stores will no longer carry said product.  "Our adds have to be
	in 3 months ahead of time"
7) Some folks will sell you a DX50 (actually a DX2-50) and say 
	"Yea, the new DX2 chip will double your speed.  We will 
	sell you one next week"
8) You ask for MFM HD cables and they give you only IDE HD cables.
	"They go to a HD, so what's the problem?"
9) Companies don't carry 50 ohm terminators.  Cards yes, terminators no.
10) "Oh yes, you can upgrade this to a DX2-100.  It will not melt your
	PC board.  Intel just has to redesign it (DX2-100)"
11) "Yes we have that in stock" and when you get there, "No we don't have
	any in stock.  Mr. X doesn't know what he is talking about."
12) "Sorry we can't help you.  Our computer is down (again)."
13) "Sorry we can't help you.  Our network is down (again)."
14) Once a good company laid this one me.  "Sorry we can't help you.
	We ran out of disk space."  (It was from a HD supplier!)
15) Companies will not inform you that they ran out of any and let the
	30 days lapse and still send you the product after you cancel
	the order.
16) Companies will loose you order and after tell them to cancel it
	(They can't since they can not find the order based on the
	billing address, billing method, or by the destination.)
	but they don't and you get an extra one.  That some how 
	gets billed to you correctly.
17) Companies technical support lines are backed up and the kids at
	the other end don't know what you are talking about.
	($6 to $8 an hour will generaly not get you good help)
18) Customer support doesn't

Organization: Imax Corporation, Mississauga Canada

I'm looking for a device that will feed an Exabyte drive with a series
of tapes in sequence (so I don't have to come in to work at 3AM when
the drive runs out of data).  I only need sequential feeding, not
random access.

I've found two devices that seem suitable.  The EXB-10 is a 10-tape
robotic-arm mechanism made by Exabyte.  The mechanism is capable of
random access, and there is a "10i" version that provides random
access, but the "10" is a cheaper sequential-access version.

The other is the ACL-600, from a company called Automated Cartridge
Libraries.  Its mechanism is sequential-only: the input tapes just sit
in a gravity-feed stack, and tapes are dropped into an output bin after
being read.  Whenever the drive door opens, the mechanism extracts the
tape, drops it in the out bin, allows another tape to gravity-feed from
the input bin, and then closes the door.  It's something like half the
price of the EXB-10.

What I really care about is reliability.  The ACL-600 is mechanically
simpler, but depends on gravity for some things - it could end up being
less reliable.  If anyone has real-world experience using either one
of these devices, please send me mail about your impressions (good AND bad).
I'll summarize the responses.

Also, if you know of other devices that perform this function and cost less
than $4000 or so, please let me know about them.

At one time, we experimented with a product called the Kodak DataShow.

It worked pretty well if you turned off the lights, and didn't
leave it on the overhead too long (liquid crystals blurred from too much heat).

Hello,
	I just got an HP Deskjet 500, and  it works fine with all my
programs, except one.  I'm running Ventura Publisher 4.0 under Windows
3.1 on my 486/33 PC and when I try to print to my Deskjet, I get an
error saying the scaling factor in the printer setup box is less than

40%.  But it prints O.K., if you ignore the error.  I don't see a
scaling option in the printer setup box, and the VP manual doesn't
mention this error.  Any idea what's going on??

Thanks,
