Havn't played with iot/iop on a 147 for a while, but IIRC you can
point the firmware at scsi controllers that are off-board.  If you
did that, then you might get the F-line exception when it tried to
use it.

You say you can do iot;h and it shows one disk controller available.
Does that report match up with what you atually have?
Type VME147, Address $FFFE4000?  What Scsi Addr?  What LUN is
listed in the first column?

What parameters are you giving to the IOP questions, if it gets as
far as asking questions?

Have you tried IOT;T to make it rescan for controllers/devices?

I have to do a IOT to setup a scsi controller. If I do not then iot;h shows
nothing.
I know that type is vme147 & address $FFFE4000. I have know idea what the
scsi address and lun is or should be. How can I tell what it should be set
to?

If I do a iot;t it starts to scan then throws the F-Line error.

Thanks,
