I am trying to set up a VAXStation 3100 for a department here and am having
trouble getting it to recognize the scsi disk.  The station and the TK50 came
from DEC and I have no problems recognizing the tape drive when it is the only
external device.  However, when I daisy-chain the disk (an ANDATACO 663MB scsi
disk), neither devices show up in a show device command.  When I take off the
TK50 and do a show device, I get back that there is a 663MB disk at address
1 on scsib.  I then do a test 6 (test on scsib) and get a return error code
of 84 = "internal request not set following bus free".

Has anybody seen/fixed this problem before?  Does anyone have this configuration
working?  Thanks in advance.
