Someone has given me a 486-66 with 32MB of memory (actually someone
bought it from a company that had gone bankrupt and then found they
couldn't use it). The machine came with SCO Unix, which I quickly
dropped and installed OS/2.

It has two internal drives with a combined 500MB, so I'm not worrying
about disk space at present. It also came with two external SCSI drives
with another 500MB and an "exobyte (sp?) 8mm" tape drive hanging off a
Bustek BT-542 SCSI controller. There is no documentation and I have
never heard of Bustek nor can I find any reference to them on any
newsgroup or on Compu$erve. Does anyone have any information on Bustek
SCSI cards such as who they are, where they are located, are OS/2
drivers available, etc?

It also came with another 1GB external drive hanging off an Adaptec 1542
SCSI controller, but I haven't been able to get this to work either. I
suspect that the jumpers required for SCO Unix must be set differently
than for OS/2. Without documentation I am stuck here too. Can anyone
tell me the various jumpers settings which should be set on the Adaptec
1542B controller?

Thanks for any help and assistance.
