Sony SDT 9000 SCSI tape drive
Is the drive rated for use with Windows XP, or are you just trying to "make"
it work? What does Sony say, not that I would ever believe them again? -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

This is a SCSI, 4mm DAT, 12/24GB tape drive. I use it. Mine is on an Adaptec 2940 controller on SCSI ID 4. If you have the right SCSI controller driver installed the SCSI tape drive is inherited by the OS and is XP compatible. What is the SCSI controller that it is connected to ? What is the SCSI driver ? Have you verified all SCSI ID and other jumpers on the controller/and or SCSI drive ? Is the SCSI chain properly terminated ? Can you get into the SCSI controller's BIOS routines and can the SCSI controller properly see the tape drive ? Have you updated the firmware on the tape drive ? I updated mine to version 0601. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

Sony SDT 9000 SCSI tape drive
Hi dave,
Downloaded the drivers - no luck, opened up the PC, this is first time I have seen inside side it since I got it from Ebay, it appears to have a PCI SCSi card (un-named) conected to the tape drive.

There must be some identifiable string on the SCSI card. Most also have a BIOS routine at POST and will identify itself. Remove the card from the PCI slot and fully examine it for identification information. If it is truly unnamed, then I suggest getting an Adaptec AHA-2940 or similar 8-bit narrow SCSI card. You can also get a wide SCSI card such as the Adaptec AHA-29160. It has internal/external wide SCSI connectors an internal narrow SCSI connector. Albeit, you'll probably find a 2940 at cheaper cost. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
