We are using the CMD controller on our 5400, using the WangDAT drive also
from Digital Basics.  Works fine.

The CMD controller makes the tape look like a TMSCP device.  Haven't tried
it with a disk yet, though.  The system is 3.1.  The people at Digital
Basics are very helpful, have you tried calling them?

I don't have the switch settings for the board off hand, here is the
entry from the config file:

 controller      klesiu1    at uba0
 controller      uq17       at klesiu1   csr 0160404  vector uqintr
 tape            tms1       at uq17      drive 0
