Hi
Your question is perhaps too summary. In general there is no problen using two DLT drives on the same SCSI bus, just assign different SCSI-adresses (the switch at the rear) to each drive.

Hi,

This is one thing I would not do, is to have two DLT drives on the one SCSI card. You will most likely find that you will not get enough data to stream to the drive fast enough to have the two drives performing well. I suggest you invest in an additional card.

You can change the SCSI ID number at the rear of the unit.

Hi there.
Some short answer : DON'T !
The bandwidth of the SCSI interface is just enough for one DLT drive. If you daisychain these things, you will have a major loss of possible performance.
