Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
I need advise, i am currently building a old server (a D230), and I wanted to connect and Ultrium tape drive to it, trouble is, the only SCSI card i could find for is is an EISA f/SE SCSI2 type. Most of the ultrium drives use an LVD type interface.
Any ideas how i go around this?
TIA!

Re: Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
Fast wide differential is high voltage - LVD is low voltage. This is not campatible and can damage the drive.
SE-SCSI is compatible, but far too slow.
This will not work.
There are NO LVD HBAs for this old server.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
But would a DDS4/DAT72 drive be ok then?

Re: Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
There is not only the speed problem.
What OS do you run? 11.00?
Newer OS won't support the EISA HBAs and older releases does not have a driver that supports DDS4 drives ...
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
Regarding the speed - from the LTO3 specs:
"...adjust the speed of the drive, from 27MB/s to 80MB/s,..."
But single-ended SCSI was 5MB/s.
The driver problem will stay anyway ...
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Ultrium on an EISA Fast SE SCSI-2 adapter
The cables aren't really an issue. If you are using an SE card then just about any good quality cable that will connect should be good enough. New cables for the latest LVD systems will work fine with older SE and HVD systems. The older cables won't work well with the new HBAs though.
