Hello,

  I recently bought a 386/33 with a Data Technology SCSI host adapter, and
a Seagate ST1096N. My problem is that the only documentation I received
was a "Preliminary Installation Guide". I want to use Minix/386 and need
to write a SCSI driver. This I cannot because of the lack of a detailed
technical refernce manual. The shop that sold me the beast say that they
didn't receive such documentation.
  Have anyone heard of the company

                        Data Technology
                       a Division of QUME

or have anyone even heard of the adapter DTC3280A ???
  The "Preliminary Installation Guide" claims that it supports any SCSI
device that conforms to ANSI X3.131-1986 and CCS rev. 4B specifications.
I do not know these specifications, could someone perhaps fill me in ?
  I really need to get in touch with the company or someone with knowledge
or documentation on how to program the adapter.
