I  am  having a problem configuring this tape drive in a i386/33  running
SCO  XENIX  V/386  2.3.2.   We  have tried  the  Chantal  Scsi  Subsystem
Software,  with  an Adaptec controller, which works on this  system,  but
won't  work on a Texas Instruments 1300 Scsi (the end destination for the
tape drive), due to the TI proprietary Scsi controller on the TI.

We tried the Bi-Tech Smart Scsi Host Interface Adapter Model 2120 and the
Bi-Tech  device  driver,  which didn't work because we were sent  a  Unix
device  driver  instead of Xenix.  [When they ported from Xenix to  Unix,
they  lost  the  source for Xenix version] 8^( I am  still  awaiting  for
Bi-Tech to sent me a working Xenix device driver.

However, I am running out of time.  My client has been waiting two months
and is beginning to wonder if his tape drive is ever going to work.

What  I  need  is a simple device driver, which will not  take  over  the
Operating  System  and a controller which will not care about other  Scsi
Host adapters in the same system.

Any suggestions?  If you don't feel this is of general interest, email me
and will summarize.
