No connections found, check SCSI adapters, etc. If I reboot the machine, yo can see that the card its in ID 7, and the HPDAT in Id 3, Win NT, says that it sees the tape and the scsi card. but HP TOOLS progrmas does not. What can I do.
Tank you

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
By TAPETOOLS do you mean HP Libray & Tape Tools? There was earlier application (no longer supported) called HP TapeTools.
L&TT can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools. The current version is 2.7 SR4.
Does the TapeWare application work with the device?

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
Did you download the driver for Windows NT 4?

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
I am using HP Tools Ver 2.7 SR3, when I use the program, it finds the HP DAT 40 on the following address, HP 65683A Address 2/0.3.0
When I select this item I receive an error, tell me that I have to see a LOG under the File menu. When I get there and try to open it, I received another error telling me that it can not open the file because it???s not the correct format.
Some times I receive a program error, with exception 10.
I did, download the latest HP DAT 40 driver.
I am using HP NT4 SP4.00, it??s this ok.

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
Generally it indicates a problem communicating with the device (reading inquiry, or log/mode pages).
Given the symptoms with TapeWare as well, have you verified that the SCSI bus is correct? Are you using good cables and terminators? Is term power supplied? Is both ends of the bus terminated? Are the cables short enough?
The SIIG AP40 card is one that I've not seen before. I don't know if it's an officially supported (or tested) SCSI card, although in theory all SCSI cards should work, right?
One option would be to enable 'I/O history' in the LTT options/preferences. Then select the device (and have it fail), and then close the application. Then email the EventLog.ltt file (in the logs folder) to ltt_team@hp.com, and we can look at it.

SP6a is current, but SP4 was a stable release.
If possible, you might look into borrowing an Adaptec HBA, and see if the problem goes away.
Also, on the above DDS support web page there's a TapeWare service pack that is fairly recent (2002-01-16), but I doubt that it will fix your problem.

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
You have Tapeware installed, if you want to run NT backup as a test or run Library and Tape Tools as diagnostic, you need first stop tapeware services, (stop it and put in manual the service) then you can let other software to communicate to your backup unit

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
We had no problem running L&TT on a DAT40 using this card in NT4. Our test tech mentioned that he needed to get the driver for NT4 from the SIIG website, but otherwise had no problems.
We installed this in an HP Kayak XA (desktop) machine.
So, with the right driver, it all seems to work (for us). We were also using NT SP6a (not 4).
Your symptoms still sound like a possible cable/bent-bin/termination issue, or either a bad card or bad drive.

Re: PROBLEMS WITH DAT40e
I tried Windows XP, it seems that every thing it??s ok, The Scsi Card it recognized by the system as a:
Advantsys 3550 Ultra Wide Scsi Host Adapter, and also the HP DAT40, when I run the HP Library Tools I received a message. It could not be find the correct NT Miniport
You think that the DAT40 it`s not working.
