rp2470 won't recognize DLT7000 tape drive
I also have a DLT7000 with a fast-wide differential scsi port (68-pin connector).
I thought I could connect the DLT to the narrow SE port since ioscan reports it as "C875 Fast Wide SCSI". However, I've connected it using a 50-pin to 68-pin cable and the system doesn't recognize it. I've also connected it in the ultra2-wide chain as scsi id 2 (0 & 1 being the cd & dds), but it likewise wasn't recognized by the system.
Shouldn't I be able to hook up this tape drive?

I think the problem is that the DLT 7000 is a HVD (High Voltage Differential). This will not work with either of the SCSI ports on the rp2470. You need a LVD or SE interface (or a LVD/HVD converter.

You will need a 'A4800A' SCSI card to hook this up. The drive does require it to be a HVD adaptor. Make sure that you use the correct 68pin cable and terminator.
