Adaptec controller and Tape backup

[Raanan Herrmann]

Background: Compaq 386 25 Mhz, Xenix 2.2.3, Adaptec ACB-2322 disk controller,
Miniscribe 320Mb disk-drive, Wangtek tape drive connected to a Bell 
Technologies tape controller and the XTC driver.

Problem: tape drive does not respond properly in Xenix and DOS modes - 
obviously there is address/interrupt/DMA conflicts (A/D/I). This problem 
started as soon as I installed the new Adaptec controller and disk drive. 
According to documentation, there should be no A/D/I conflict with the current 
dip switches setting. I can not change the A/D/I on the tape controller as the 
xenix driver works with only one set of A/D/I. I tried all the dip switches
combination on the Adaptec and no results. The two companies involved finger-
point at each other. Any ideas?
