AST COMPUTERS AND EVEREX TAPE DRIVES
|
|
|
|
|
|
When installing an Everex EV-811 tape backup with a QIC-02 tape controller in
|
|
an AST computer that uses an IDE interface controller, customers will
|
|
experience random lockups at different times during tape back operations.
|
|
|
|
Everex has confirmed that this problem is caused by a chip which is located
|
|
on the QIC-02 tape controller at location U10. A Signetics or Texas
|
|
Instruments chip must be used for the tape unit to function properly with an
|
|
IDE interface controller.
|
|
|
|
Anyone experiencing this problem should contact Everex Product Support
|
|
directly and refer to "ECO 4188".
