I had AVA1505 before I bought 1542.
At that time I had SONY SDT-5000 DAT drive only. I compiled statically
driver for 152x in the kernel and issued command line. Card was detected
and working OK.
When I was reading from tape, everything was fine, speed was OK.
But, when I tried to write something on tape, if I was not feeding data
*slowly* to the tape drive, machine will lock-up. Completely. As if you do
cli() and then inifinite loop. When I put 1542 everything was working
fine.
At the same time card was working fine under DOS with EZ-SCSI Lite
package.
Maybe problem was with tape driver, chipset support or something like, I
really donŽt know. But if you do what I specified above, SCSI card will be
detected and after that tape drive too. If you get SCSI card detected,
youŽll get tape drive detected too.
If you eventually get AVA1505 running with tape drive without problems I
described above, IŽll be glad if you let me know that fact.
In the mean time, I donŽt have AVA card anymore - I sold it shortly after
I bought 1542.
