Page 7Installation Instructions: Roadrunner 030 & 040 AM-1000 / AM-1200 Upgrade

4.3Unsupported Hardware

The following products are not supported for use with Alpha Micro’s Roadrunner

hardware:

1.ST-506 drives and Xebec controllers are not supported as a boot devices.

2.AM-706 memory expansion boards.

3.AM-708 memory expansion boards.

4.All third party memory expansion boards designed to plug onto AM-177 or

AM-167 boards.

5.Other types of third party boards (i.e., I/O and communications boards) may not

work with the Roadrunner product. Contact the original manufacturer of the

equipment for assistance. Also, see the Roadrunner SIG on AMTEC+ for more

information on third party hardware compatibility.

5.0ROADRUNNER SCSI TAPE AND HARD DISK DRIVE REQUIREMENTS

Roadrunner has an on-board high performance SCSI interface incorporated into its

design. To insure a successful installation, you should carefully read the next few

sections dealing with SCSI peripherals and Roadrunner compatibility.

The Roadrunner’s on-board high performance SCSI interface supports both SCSI-1 and

SCSI-2 hard disk and magnetic tape devices. However, because of the potential

increase in performance, we highly recommend the use of SCSI peripherals that

support SCSI-2.

5.1Tandberg 1/4" Streaming Tape Drives

In order to warm boot from a Tandberg tape drive, it must be set to a higher numerical

SCSI ID (1 through 6) than any other tape device connected to the bus.

1.In order to be Roadrunner compatible, the AM-625 Tandberg 150MB tape drive

must have firmware at revision -06:00 or later. You can use the SCSI.LIT

program (included in AMOS 2.2C and 1.4C operating system releases) to

determine the firmware revision of your tape drive. Simply type in the command

SCSI at the AMOS prompt and the program will display a string of numbers which

includes the firmware revision. The AM-625 is a SCSI-1 device; it cannot be

upgraded to SCSI-2. AM-625 backups are not able to span tapes.

2.AM-626 525MB Tandberg SCSI tape drives can be upgraded to SCSI-2 by

installing updated firmware (part number PDB-00626-90), which can be ordered

from Alpha Micro. If you do not upgrade the firmware, the drive can still be used

with Roadrunner hardware as a SCSI-1 device, but only if it has firmware at
