Anyone have an old TX8 (pertec Overland data)...

By kioner - usenet poster

I have an Overland data TX8 Pertec controller I am trying to get running
with an Qualstar 1052 9 Track Tape drive,
There is a bank of 8 dip switches that control the controller base address,
however I have zero documentation to go with the card.

If you have docs for these switches please reply to:

There are two types of switches used over the years. One labeled 12345678 and
one labled 87654321. In both cases ON is towards the printed switch number.
Address 360 is the factory default.

DIP SW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
