This sounds like an error condition.

No. In all cases the LUN should be "0" since all of the devices that
you have contain imbedded SCSI controllers. The Physical address should be
what each device is strapped as, on the device itself.

You should also run ASPI4DOS and ASPITAPE to get the most out of the
configuration. I have a Wangtek 150 MB tape drive, but I gave up on it - it
is a useless piece of steel and wires. I now use an Archive 2150S.

I hope this helps.

1. ADAPTEC 1542B DOES NOT RECOGNIZE SCSI CD-ROM SCSI TAPE

I have Adaptec 1542B SCSI host adapter and I have 3 SCSI devices on the
SCSI cable namely: 1) Hard drive 2) CD-ROM 3) Wangtek Q150 tape drive

When I boot up the system the Adaptec BIOS prints
Check 0 LUN 0
SCSI Hard disk

It does not recognize other SCSI devices (CD-ROM and Catridge Tape)
How do I change the Adaptec BIOS to recognize other SCSI divces ?
I think it should print
Check 0 LUN 0
SCSI Hard disk
Check 0 LUN 1
CD-ROM
Check 0 LUN 2
Cartridge Tape.

Am I right ?
