Problems with SCSI Hard Drive on Zenith 150 Machines
#286

I have a Zenith 150 with 640K and I have been attempting to
install a Quantum 40 M SCCI hard drive with a Seagate ST0-1
SCCI controller card.

I have spent much time trying to get the disk to operate.

If I use PREP (DOS 3.3), I get the message "insufficient
memory for internal buffers."  I get this even though the
machine has 640 K and I have allocated much stack space
with the STACK command in CONFIGUR.SYS.

When I use DEBUG to initiate formating, formating begins
but quickly I get a "divide overflow" message.

When I use DEBUG I issue the command g=CA00:0 for according
to the manual I have set the jumpers on the STO-1 for a
BIOS memory address of ca000 hex.

I have gotten about the same results with an IBM PC and 
a Zenith 150.

Finally, with all the Zenith Systems when the machine is
initially turned on I get a DIVIDE OVERFLOW!! message.

I have tried increasing the number of files and buffers
with CONFIG.SYS.  I also get the same results when I use
DOS 2.11.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

---Thanks!
