I have an Iomega Zip scsi board that was intended for use withe
the external scsi Zip drives. The drive has now gone on to another machine
with an aic-7880 however I still have this board which should function as
a regular biosless scsi board. In a separate case I have mounted a
HP35480A DAT drive which is connected to my box by a short length of
cable. Irregularily while using the drive my console will get spewed with
messages stating:
Aieee! Scheduling in interrupt 0xsomething..
I can use two Seagate ST41200N's in a different box fine. Though I
did have trouble with a Toshiba XM-4101B that was mounted in the same case
as the DAT. The Toshiba CDROM would report itself incorrectly, with the
identification often garbled. However, I've used the same cdrom on my sun4
fine. I can also use the DAT drive on my sun 4 fine.
I'm running a stock unmodified 2.0.33 kernel, with the scsi stuff
as modules. My computer is as follwos
Pent 200 mmx
Asus p55t2p4 w/ 64 mb ram
Matrox Millenium II
3Com Etherlink III
Hercules Monochrome Card
Original SoundBlaster 16
2xIDE hds
Floppy Tape, Floppy drive.
If the problem seems unsolvable, could someone show me how to do a
multiple tape backup on the floppy tape? I can supply any other needed
information, Thank you.
