- I have an old Sun 60Mb tape drive which uses a SCSI-QIC?? interface card
- and an Archive
- tape drive. I tried using Retrospect 1.3 but it fails to find a tape drive
- on the bus
- that it understands. Does it do some sort of SCSI inquiry to determine the
- drive type
- and then uses an appropriate driver ? How can I convince Retrospect that
- there is a
- taep drive at a specified address ? BTW I've used SCSIProbe 3.4 to
- determine that there
- is some sort of SCSI device at the nominated address (even though it can't
- determine
- what it is ). Is there some other utility that I can use to backup my hard
- drive to
- this device ?
