You can't mix LVD devices on HVD chains or vice versa. <>< Jon L.

Re: DLT8000
I'm surprised the 2940 didn't work. Are you sure it's not a term/ID problem? If you dare you could try cracking open the DLT and connecting the mechanism via ribbon cable to the card internally.

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?
