I have just installed a new TLZ07 external tape device on an AlphaStation 400
2/233. My problem is that if the tape drive is on I get no video display
although I can boot the machine and telnet in. If the tape device is off
(but still plugged in) the video is fine.
The tape drive is the only external SCSI device and is properly terminated.
It has an ID of 5 which does not conflict with anything, although I have
tried changing it to see if it made any difference. UERF does not show
anything untoward. I have previously had a storage works cabinet on this
SCSI port, so I know it works. I have also tried a different SCSI cable off
of another machine that I know works fine.
On searching the archives I did find that someone posted this same problem
last year, but I could not find a summary. Sigh.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
