two configuration problems
I have two separate configuration problems that I'd appreciate some
help on:
1. Has anyone gotten GTAR/GTAK 2.43 to work with a Dock II under OS/2
Warp? I've tried numerous configurations and been unable to get
the tape drivers to work. Part of the problem is that I've found
the documentation to be cryptic at best, and I really don't know
how to read between the lines (my experience with SCSI is limited
to unix platforms).
2. I'm helping a colleague set up a new Sigma Data 810MB drive for his
ThinkPad, and I've been unable to get the disk to boot.
Specifically, I can boot off floppies, and then format, partition,
read and write the drive without any trouble. But when I try to
boot off the disk after installing the operating system, I get the
error message
Unable to load operating system from startup disk.
However, the same 755C runs fine when I put the original 540MB
drive in it. This error message appears to come from the boot ROM,
because it is the same when the entire disk is formatted as a
single DOS volume, or when the disk is partitioned and OS/2 boot
manager is installed. In the latter case it can't even boot the
boot manager.
BTW, my boot ROM is at revision 1.15, so that can be ruled out as
the trouble.
Anyway, I hope someone has some ideas about these problems -- I've
about run out. Thanks in advance.
