A friend of mine has an A3070 Tape Backup Unit. While moving from one place to another he lost the manual. My questions is how do you set the Tape Drive up? He is using a Xetec SCSI controller and according to its book you just stick it into the chain with the hard drive being the terminating device. We tried that but nothing happens. The system wont autoboot from the hard drive it wont do anything. I think its some conflict between the two units because the device numbers are probrally the same. I seen that there are some dip switches inside the tape unit. If you own a C= 3070 Tape Drive can you send me the info on how to set the dip switches etc.. Thanks for any help.
