Several things to do and see:
First, verify the Firmware revision! Make sure there is an EPROM plugged in
where the firmware goes :-) And verify whether or not it controls Tapes,
Disks, or Tapes & Disks (Firmware /T, /M, and /TM) if it is tape only and
it thinks it is the first Q-bus tape drive then it could be "hidden" by the
TQK70.
Second you can try pulling _every_ board out except the CPU, Memory, and
the CQD-220. Then do a 'SHO QBUS' to see if it shows up.
Third, if this is the 3300/3400 box, make sure this dual wide card is in
the *TOP*, there are no qbus slots on the bottom only "C/D" slots. DEC used
to provide little black plastic inserts that could support the card (common
on the TQK70).
Fourth, make sure your terminal is set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop
bit, no parity.
These cards do work with this stuff and NetBSD does recognize and boot from
them.
