Yes PS2 keyboard.
This is a controller attached to a tool, the controller was removed from the tool, after a week of other techs, working on it. It was handed to me, after multiple rounds of troubleshooting and making some progress I am now at this point.
By the time I got the controller the HD had already been wiped so I do not know if this was a miss diagnosed original problem.
Yes the plan is to restore from the tape backup.
My initial thought was the SCSI controller card was the problem, because even though it lists the CD as bootable I was unable to boot anything from it. Even after assigning the cards bios to boot from CD first. But I removed that as a issue when I was able to through the card bios able to format and then do a media verification on the HD.
I can do this with both of the drives I have used in the controller.
I can not progress beyond this point. After 2 days I am beginning to hit my head against the wall here. I have resolved several other unrelated issues to this, Just am uncertain how to resolve this.
hence why I am asking for guidance....

drives). See for further details.
