MacIvory can't find tape drive
Symbolics customer support has given up on this one because my MacIvory
configuration is not a `supported' configuration. Has anyone else seen
anything like this?
I have an Ivory board in IIx with an Apple 80MB internal drive, an Apple
tape drive, and a MicroTech Nova 150MB external drive. The problem is
that Genera doesn't recognize that a tape drive is attached. (It turns
out that to find a tape drive genera looks at the id information
returned by each SCSI device. For some reason the id info that Genera
is getting is garbage; however, other mac programs can read the id info
fine.)
Because it doesn't recognize the tape drive I can't read any tapes.
This problem occurs under both 7.4 and 8.0. I was able to install 8.0
by taking the Ivory board out of the IIx and putting it into a IIfx, but
that is not a feasible thing to do on a regular basis. I've tried
different versions of Apple's system software (6.0.3, 6.0.4, and 6.0.5),
and removing all inits, with no effect.
At the end of this message I've included some detailed information about
the machine configuration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The information about the SCSI devices is garbage, and it can change each
