Somebody out there must have had the problem I'm facing now and be able to
offer me a solution.  I hope...

I have an XT clone which has worked perfectly for several years.  It has a
5.25" floppy A drive, a 3.5" floppy B drive, a Seagate ST-238R 32MB C
drive, and the usual complement of 640K of memory, 2 COM ports, one PRN
port, etc.

Recently, I decided to add the Everex "Excel Floppy Tape" drive.  This is a
1/2 height internal tape drive which can write up to 40MB.

I have a B.S. in Computer Science from M.I.T., and I C*A*N*N*O*T figure out
how to get this *&%$@+ tape drive set up.

I spent $169 on the drive, and another $99 on the "QUOTE UNIVERSAL UNQUOTE"
floppy disk & tape controller from Accelerated Computer Technology.

I have tried literally every combintation of DIP switches, cables, and
configurations possible.

IC*A*N*N*O*T get this tape drive to do A*N*Y*T*H*I*N*G.

Don't you hate it when you spend hundreds of dollars and end up with
nonfunctional shit?

Please, someone, give me a hint how to set this thing up!

Thanks!
