Is AHA-2940 SCSI card same as AHA-2940U2W???

Could this the problem why LT&T cannot see the tape backup drive??? Please let me know on any suggestions.

2940 is a SE adapter http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/suppdetail.html?sess=no&language=English+US&prodkey=AHA-2940 , 2940U2W is an LVD adapter http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/suppdetail.html?sess=no&language=English+US&prodkey=AHA-2940U2W
If your drive is LVD then connecting it to 2940 you may need 50-68pin SCSI adapter cable

I have Surestore DAT 40e and the 50 to 68 pin connector to my AHA-2940U2W. Will this setup still work because none of the backup software see the tape drive. It is running on Win98SE. Need any help or suggestions.

Thank you

Go to this link for the correct Adaptec Drivers for your AHA-2940U2W

Check if you can see the DAT40e Tape drive in the boot-up bios scan or use Ctrl-A (Adaptec BIOS setup) device scan option to verify you can see the tape.

... and do not forget that you need a cable with terminator. The drive has no internal termination.

Thanks for all your help but I found the problem. It was the damn AHA-2940 scsi card. We have a extra scsi card laying around (Iomega) and I just plugged it in and it came up.

Thanks for all your suggestions and help.
