Hi,
I have installed 2.0.5R on a 386DX40 and was trying to install a SCSI
controller.  The one I have is a Future Domain TMC 850 controller
using a TMC 950 chip.  It is a cheap nasty thing and was I believe a
free give away with some CD ROM drive or other.  It is recognised
during booting correctly, after which there is a pause for the scsi
devices to settle.  With a tape drive plugged in, the tape is then
probed, recognised, installed as st0 and all works fine.  With a
disk however, after the pause, the disk light goes on and everything
hangs with no further messages.  This happens whatever disk I use.
I have tried an assortment of Seagate, Micropolis and DEC.
Will these controllers work with disk drives, am I possibly doing
something wrong, or is this a bug/feature?
Thanks,
Stuart Arnold
