I seem to be having a problem with my serial port and the scsi port.
First off, the computer thinks that something is using the serial port when
nothing is connected to it, this means that I can't run any communications
programs at all except in something called share mode, which I can't seem to
find any documentation on in the manuals.  What I was trying to do is connect
a null modem between my XT to my Amiga and transfer some files. 

My second problem seems to be that the scsi interface won't recognize my tape
drive.  It keeps telling me that the drive is of type unknown.  I've tried
everything I could on this and I just reached a dead end.
