Surestore 1/9 with a new controller

I have a Surestore 1/9 DLT drive attached to a NetWare 5.1 server running Backup Exec. The SCSI adaptor had to be replaced, and the new Adaptec 29160 only sees the DLT, not the library (from NetWare, HP_LTT and BE). Does anybody have any suggestions for drivers, etc. to rectify this?

check to see if LUN support is enabled in the SCSI BIOS

/LUN is on the driver load line, but this particular drive has two SCSI IDs set. I've tried changing them from the factory defaults (0 for library, and 1 for drive) to 1 and 2, and then back, with no change. The cabling goes from the card to the drive to the library to a terminator, and this is the only device (or devices) on the card.

you need first to be sure that both devices are seen by the bios of the HBA, enter with CTRL_A at boot time, and check if both are present.
if not, check for cabling or terminator problem, eventualy connect only the drive or only the robotic controller to check what is wrong

I don't think it's seen by the BIOS. I'll check that. I did troubleshoot all of the cabling.
