scsi card for AIT-3 tape drive

[Terry Davlin]

What pci scsi card works with AIT tape drives? I'm using 11i on a rp5470.
Thanks!

Hi


You need a LVD/SE SCSI adapter, as A6829A or A6828A.

Leif, you nailed it; I installed the card, attached the drive, and the tape drive showed up on the first reboot. Thank you!

FYI:
From my testing with HP-UX and AIT3. I think you will need to have the AIT3 emulate an AIT1 to get compression to work
