with them, you'll be sorry.
Thanks to Jim Hope for sending the MCA and ISA versions.

The 3363 supports either an internal or externally connected
drive. OS/2 should see it. I use mine on DOS 6.3 but win 3.1 sees it if I have
the driver loaded. You can customize the driver from one to eight reserved
addresses. The 3363.com (exe?) makes it look like another hard drive. When you
write to it the drive will ignore any file with identical directory entries to
save disk space. This is a write once media. I use it because it is archival
storage. If there is still a running 3363 in 2099 it should be able to read the
media. They have MCA and ISA bus cards for it. I haven't tried it on my Windows
95 machine yet. That may puke. I have the tech ref book and the guide to ops
book if you have any jumper or switch questions.

> I have 2 IBM3363 Worm Drives (1 Internal & 1 External). I also
have 2 cards. I know they are good but I can't seem to get one running on my
PS2 80. I am getting critical error 80 when I try to initialize. Any help would
be appreciated. IE: toggle/switch settings, do I need a loopback?,or
whatever.
Hi Ted,
Make sure that you've got each of the 3363 drives set up with a unique
'station id'. Even if you're using two adapter cards you'll still need to set
the dip switches on each worm drive to different station ids.
For ISA Bus 3363:
The station id is a block of 4 switches, labelled SW601 on the 3363 unit.
For 3363 unit 1: Set ALL dip switches OFF
For 3363 unit 2: Set Switch 1 ON
Look for the Station1/Station2 switch, which is a single switch labeled
SW602, next to the SW601 4 switch block on the 3363 unit.
For 3363 unit1 Set witch OFF.
For 3363 unit2 Set switch ON.
If you're using the 3363s on separate adapter cards, ensure that both
of them have the terminator block next to the station select switches (SW601)
in place.

AdapterID DF7F IBM 3363 Optical Disk
IO Address Select
Port addresses for the card. Each optical adapter must have a
unique address range.
<"Address 258"
(0258h-025Bh)>, 658 (0658-065B), A58 (0a58-0a5B), E58 (0e58-0e5B)
BIOS Segment
To configure this adapter you must choose the memory location
used for it's BIOS ROM. There are 12 memory locations that can be selected.
<"Segment DA00"
(DA000-DBFFF)>, DC00 (DC000-DDFFF), DE00 (DE000-DFFFF),
C800 (C8000-C9FFF), CA00 (CA000-CBFFF), CC00 (0CC000-CDFFF),
CE00 (CE000-CFFFF), D000 (D0000-D1FFF), D200 (D2000-D3FFF),
D400 (D4000-D5FFF), D600 (D6000-D7FFF), D800 (D8000-D9FFF)
PIO/DMA IO
This adapter can transfer data via PIO or DMA. If using DMA, step
through arbitration levels until you find a level which is not in conflict.
<"DMA Data Transfer">,
PIO Data Transfer
Interrupt Level
This adapter can use any of four interrupt levels
<"5">, 7, 10, 11
Fairness On/Off
Bus Arbitration Fairness. Adapter releases control of the bus
after exclusive use.
<"On">, Off
Arbitration Level
Using arbitration levels, this adapter accesses memory directly
without burdening the computer's main microprocessor. An arbitration level of 0
has the highest priority, and increasing levels have corresponding decreased
priority.
< "Level 10">,
11, 12, 13, 14, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Burst Length
DMA transfer burst length. Maxi number of bytes transferred in a
single DMA transfer.
<"8 Byte Burst">,
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Burst Disabled
Bypass Diagnostics at REBOOT
Diagnostics on the adapter card and drives are always performed at
power on time. This option selects a choice of whether or not diagnostics are
to be ran at REBOOT time. <alt-ctrl-del>
<"Run Diags">,
Don't run diags
