Dear DU Folk,
        I have an Alphaserver800 with latest firmware, running DU4.0D. I
have installed a KZPBA-CA SCSI controller for this machine. At SRM level I
can see this device no problem. However when I boot into TRU64 Unix I am
beating my brow trying to see the device.
        There is a DLT 35-70GB tape drive attached to the end of the SCSI
controller and I have run the "eeromcfg" utility from alphabios and this
appears to be okay - SCSI termination options set to auto-terminate at
controller. Physical termination on tape drive.
        I have recompiled the kernel with "doconfig -a", even tried a
MAKEDEV of "TMS".
        Still I cannot see the tape drive , let along the scsi controller.
        I feel I am missing doing something very obvious.
        Any opinions / advice gratefully received.

Sincerely,
Malcolm Condie
