Hi,

I'm trying to install a tzl7 DLT tape drive with a 12 mag loader.
The system I'm trying to install it on is a DEC2000 AXP
system running DU 3.2c.

I installed a scsi card which comes up as pkb0.
I have the scsi addresses on the tape drive set to
the default settings which should be 0.

If I do a show dev at the console prompt it shows (from
memory as the system is up now)....


jkb1
jkb101
jkb102
jkb103
.
.
.
mkb0
mkb100
mkb200
.
.
.

Is the jkb numbers correct? or should they be jkb1, jkb100, jkb200
and so on? I don't think anything can be conflicting as it is on its own
scsi card.

next I go into scu and do show edt

here's the output...

scu> show edt

This seems to be only showing the first scsi card (pka0) as all the
target numbers look like the disks and one tape drive and the cdrom.

The directions say to do /sbin/scu show edt bus (number)
If I do scu show edt bus 1 (or 2...) nothing shows up.
just bus 0 has info.

Am I missing some kind of connection with the new scsi card? I
just plugged it into the mother board. I thought that would
be the only thing I have to do except connect the tape unit via
the scsi cable of course.

I also installed the robot software using setld. I've never
installed a DLT tape drive so any help would be appreciated.
I've also done the ./MAKEDEV.MC mc(number)b and it only creates
one device. I've tried several numbers according to the directions.
I don't think I can get the device files created until scu
works correctly.


Thanks,
Allan
