Using the WangDAT Model 3400DX with Windows NT (112696)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q112696 SUMMARY
The WangDAT model 3400DX DAT drive is not directly compatible with Windows
NT, but it can be used with Windows NT after you switch the operational
mode of the DAT drive.
NOTE: If you have an ATI video adapter, make sure you do not place the DAT
drive in slot 4. Hardware and device driver conflicts may occur.
MORE INFORMATION
The WangDAT 3400DX can be set to emulate the model 3200 by setting the
switches 5, 6, and 7 on switchbank "S3" to the "on" position. Because
Windows NT does directly support the model 3200, this mode allows the model 3400DX to function with Windows NT.
According to Wangtek/WangDAT, this change does not cause loss of
performance or loss of any benefits of the model 3400DX. To return to the
default settings, turn switches 5, 6, and 7 of switchbank "S3" back to the
"off" position.
