Trantor 128F SCSI - FDD, HDD controller failure

["G. Crimp" <ye416@victoria.tc.ca>]

Hi, 

	I just acquired a used Trantor 128F SCSI adapter that I am trying to
install in a 486sx-33 to run a Maxtor lxt-340sy harddrive.  The card has
onboard bios that can be enabled/disabled.  The computer bios is AMI
(06/06/92).

	I have set the jumpers and dipps on the drive and card to what I
think should be reasonable values according to what I have so far read about
SCSI.  After the memory check and a couple of seconds of who knows what, and
after the SCSI bios message if I have it enabled, I get

	FDD controller failure
	HDD controller failure
	press <F1> to resume

	If I press F1 I get that nice little table that gives a run down of
what is in the box, three lines about memory, shadow memory and something
else, and them I am dead in the water because there is neither a floppy nor
a hd from which to boot.

	I'm not really sure what to look for or try.  I did try changing the
IRQ of the board ( I picked 10 because I don't think anything uses it) but I
got the same message I got about a thousand times before.

	I have made some progress in ajusting the dipp switches (I didn't
event get the option of F1 to continue at first).  I don't know enought
about the start up of the box to know what is causing this.  Can anyone give
me an idea of what to look at ?

	Thanks,

	Gerald Crimp
