Anyone have experience setting up the 4 port ultra scsi xio option board?  I followed the installation manual I found online for irix7’s site and when I do a hinv or view the system overview from system manager it sees the additional scsi ports as expected.

I did the port mapping as required in the setup manual.

The only thing I don’t have is the software that supposably comes with the board.  The installation manual says to install the xio board, install the latest irix OS.  The install the media that came with the board.

The problem I’m having is when I connect drives to the “y” cables, the drives are not seen by irix.  The scsi ports are seen, but no devices connected.

I am wondering if I need to reinstall irix so that it can see the option board and install what ever drivers are needed... or do I need the install media that came with the board?

Any help is appreciated
