Re: SCSI Termination question

[smcgroga@advent.com (Steve McGrogan)]

I'd like to add a Wangtek 150MB streamer on my IIGS Apple SCSI card which
is currently driving an Apple SC-20 hard drive.  (Normally the Wangtek
is attached to my Sun SPARC.) 

I pulled the SCSI terminator and cabled the tape to the empty SCSI port
on the hard drive.  The IIGS immediately tried to boot from the Wangtek
(very impressive to hear as the drive cycles through all possible
track positions).  Sure enough, the SC-20 and Wangtek were both the same
SCSI device #5.  I switched the Wangtek to device 2 and tried again.
Same result.  Next I switched the SC-20 to device 6.  Same result.
Reversed the two in sequence.  Same result.  Moved the terminator.
Same result.  Removed the terminator.  Same result.

Hmmmmm!  Is there some SCSI trick I'm missing here?  I'd like to back
up the hard drive to the Wangtek but nothing seems to work.
This SCSI card is an old Apple SCSI card and may be as old as Rev A.
Is anyone using a streamer tape on their IIGS with an Apple SCSI,
Apple DMA SCSI, or Ramfast?  If so, does the archiver on System 6
know how to drive the tape?  (I have the SCSI manager, SCSI disk driver,
and SCSI tape driver installed on the system.)

Thanks for any info.
