The Floppy Disk Controller on the Series 15 Board is not compatible with a streaming tape drive

 




                             AMI TECH TIP



TECH TIP NO. 15.001


DATE:          May 10, 1991

BOARD TYPE:      FAST DISK EISA SCSI HOST ADAPTER

BOARD REVISION:  Series 15 Rev D or D1

BOARD FREQUENCY:

RELEASED BY:     Engineering Dept.



PROBLEM:   The Floppy Disk Controller on the Series 15 Board is not compatible 

   with a streaming tape drive.


REASON:    The Intel 82077-1 Floppy Disk Controller used on the FAST DISK EISA 

   SCSI HOST ADAPTER does not support the streaming tape drives.


SOLUTION:  Intel now has a version of the Floppy Disk Controller that is 

   compatible with streaming tape drives.  The Intel part number is 

   82077AA-1.  All boards should be shipped with the new 82077AA-1 

   Floppy Disk Controller in the future.  If a customer has a board

           with the 82077-1 Floppy Disk Controller and needs to use a 

   streaming tape drive, the Floppy Disk Controller should be swapped 

   for the new one.  It is a 68-pin PLCC package at U76.  It is in a 

   socket but a special tool is needed to remove it from the socket.
