TK50-GA external SCSI tape unit + Microvax 3100 Desktop

Some more datapoints, please:

- Do you have a TK50 or a TK50Z (I think the "Z" is the indication that
it is indeed the real SCSI variant)? Does it have an SCSI-ID-switch on
the back?
- What model is your '3100? Just plain "MicroVAX3100", or is there some
M-Number (like "M40")?
- What *does* "SHOW DEV" say?
- Do you have one or two SCSI-Busses? Or, maybe easier to answer: Does
the machine have a floppy drive installed?
- Does one (or both) of the internal disks "disappear" whenever you plug
in the TK50?

Anyway, usually problems with SCSI-Devices are due to either termination
problems, bad cables or conflicting SCSI-ID's.

regards

            People disagree with me.  I just ignore them.
