Everex Tape Streamer: Need Help

Hi,
someone gave me an old Everex (QIC-) Tape Streamer some days ago.
Unfortunately without any documentation, so I had no chance to get it to
work yet.

Can anybody help me with it?

I need to know how to set the jumpers and DIP switches on the board.

These are the facts:

The controller card is one of the big old jobs which take the entire length
of the computer case. On it, some lettering says:
   EVEREX SYSTEMS INC EV-831 REVF

And on the largest chip on board:
   FCC ID: E3E5UVEV-831

On some other important looking chip:
   D.05E

The tape drive itself is labeled:
   CaliPer CP-60B
   P/N 100030-002 H
   S/N PSN95081378

   MODEL ET 601 (or so, the label has almost vanished)

There is one array of 10 DIP switches on the board (for the address,
I guess, but the address is obviously not decoded literally).

Also, there are some jumpers:
IRQ(234567), DRQ(123) and DACK(123) are quite clear,
but then there are
DRQ3EN and DACK3EN, E1 through E10, and W1 through W5.

Can someone give me at least one sane configuration,
preferably with IRQ5, DMA3 and I/O address 0x338 ?

ADthanksVANCE,
Heiko
