    I recently put a storageworks BA350 + HSD10 setup on my MicroVAX 3800
    in order to move away from the somewhat scarce DSSI type drives.
    No problems in the system recognizing the SCSI drives as I was
    able to image both DSSI drives to the SCSI ones. I setup the HSD10
    as node 2 and the host DSSI Qbus controller to see it. On the HSD10 side
    all disk drives as well as the tape drive are seen and have been
    configured. When I do a sh dev at the SRM prompt, the tape drive
    should be recognized as MUC110:. Any thoughts on what I should be
    looking for. The TLZ07 is in a SBB. I am no expert in these systems,
    but do consider myself experienced around DEC equipment.

    Hardware config is:
    MV3800 KA655 CPU
    48MB RAM
    2 DSSI nodes plus new HSD10 node
    DELQNA ENet
    CXI8
    VCB02 card set
    TK70 tape drive

    OS: VMS 5.5-2
