Subject: Ultra wide SCSI card setup on an IPX

    Greetings all

    I recently got hold of an ultra wide SCSI
    card for my IPX. I figured it would be detected
    on boot up. I also figured that because it was
    a Sbus card, and it fit, it would work. It
    would seem I was mistaken. What do I need to
    do to get my system to "see" this card so I
    can make use of it. I presume there is an
    openboot setting that can be set.

    The card is an:

    Antares Microsystems
    FWS+ENET
    P/N 20-050-0051
    REV. C
    (C) 1996

    There is a Sun chip on board, which is also
    marked Symbios Logic, I would presume this is
    the SCSI chip. The numbers on the chip are:

    STP2000QFP
    89C100
    100-3023-05
    609-0391342
    DP07034 N9540

    The card also has an ethernet port, which for
    the time being I am unconcerned with. I bought
    the card for its ultra wide SCSI capabilities.

    Could someone please point me in the right
    direction for the information on how to get
    this card working?

    Everything I do to this machine is a new
    experence. Sun machines are so very different
    from the Intel PC.
