- SCSI Tape Streamers supported by TapeBIOS - Tested
- ==================================================
-
- The tape drives that have been tested with TapeBIOS, with the caveats
- stated, are listed below:-
-
- Tandberg TDC 36xx series.
- Works faultlessy. No timeout value needed whatsoever.
-
- Archive Viper 150S.
- Timeout value must be specified, Spurious errors otherwise occur.
- Some versions of the tape drive bios i.e. 21247-xxx do not fully
- report the proper error information. Most of the time a General
- Failure error will occur from these streamers.
-
- FA.ST (ICD) 155mb mini cartridge.
- Load/Unload commands not supported.
- For the above commands the tape drive returns an illegal request call.
- Instead use the ready/rewind combination to replace these commands.
- As for the Archive Viper 150S, a timeout value must be specified.
-
- Adaptec 3530 (SCSI to QIC-02 Controller).
- Tested with Wangtek 5099EN (60MB). Works fine. No problems occurred.
-
- Cypher CT540.
-
- If anyone else uses TapeBIOS with or without problems, or has any
- comments on the above information, please get in contact so i can review it
- and update if necessary.
