DLT8000
I have a Quantum DLT8000 tape drive that I want to hookup to a BW G3. Currently, I have two Adaptec cards in the BW. One is a BTO card that came with the machine (Ultra-2 SCSI, LVD). The other is a 2940UW that I purchased to run another tape drive. When I plug the DLT8000 into the U2LVD card, the BW will not recognize any of the drives on the SCSI chain - bad thing since my hard drives are chained off that one. I just found out that the DLT8000 is Ultra2 HVD. Will LVD and HVD not work together? Does anyone know off hand what SCSI card from Adaptec I will need to buy to make this work?

slot selection and backups
I have a PowerTowerPro with an Apple OEM 10/100 ethernet card being backed up by a 6500 with a DAT tape running Retrospect. The 6500 has an identical 10/100 card in it, and the connection is through a 100BT hub. From long experience with the limitations of the 6500 and the DAT, I know that a sustained 10MB/min to tape is what to expect and for my purposes this is just fine (when I started using Retro, 10MB/min was the best I could do with a plain 10BT card as well, so yes 100BT is not helpful here). Yesterday, in -successfully- troubleshooting a conflict on the PowerTower involving a TV card, I moved the 10/100 card from its original slot (4th down from top) to a new slot (2nd down from top). The backup now proceeds slowly at 2-3MB/min and there are constant Net Retries. No dreaded 519s yet but I am expecting them. I've done a cuda reset and zapped PRAM and tossed Appleshare prefs (including invisibles) on the PowerTower. I will be moving around the 10/100 card again to try to reproduce this, and trying some other stuff like normal network copies too sleuth it. Meanwhile, I have read non-authoritative discussions of the differences in some slots and how they are used, but can anyone at Dantz comment on this? Performance from less than one day earlier with all the same hardware suggests that a network issue, outside of the slot selection, is exceedingly unlikely.

RE: Backing up FileMaker Pro 5 on a PC
I hope Retro will be able to tell a CLIENT to do something (like run a batch file). That would be REALLY helpful if I could turn off virus software to speed the client up...

You could use that feature to stop a database, do the backup, and then start the database back up. Craig (Of course, this list will be the first to hear about new product announcements.

Re: slot selection and backups
I seem to remember someone reporting recently that 10/100 cards work best when they're in the slot nearest the processor. Maybe that was on this list? I don't know. It sounds like witchcraft to me, but what do I know. You are running 8.6 aren't you???
