>Description:
There are at least two devices in the system configuration that are (at
best) suboptimal and (at worst) flat wrong. The default uha1 controller
can never be accessed, since it's impossible to set any Ultrastore 14f
or 34f controller to an address that ends with 8. The following
values are the only valid choices for the secondary controller - 340,
230, and 130.
The wt0 controller currently defaults to 300h. Most of the QIC-02
controllers available from the 'bashed and bruised' rack do not support
addresses that end with 0. I recommend that the default address be
changed to 328h or 308h. Both of these are supported by all Wangtek and
Archive QIC-36 controllers, as well as the Archive and Wangtek QIC-02
controllers.
>How-To-Repeat:
No need.
>Fix:
Change the addresses as outlined above.
