AttoTech UL3S with La Cie AIT Drive problem


Recommended Posts

Running OS X 10.1.4 server with latest Retrospect Server for OS X with a Sony AIT-2 Tape Drive (OEM'd by La Cie) with ATTO Tech UL3S adapter. Nothing else on the bus have tried with and without a terminator

 

 

 

Retrospect sees the Tape drive but locks up when writing to the Tape Drive, I have reloaded the Retrospect software, changed cables, sometimes a MB or two is written sometimes only 60K . But after force quitting Retrospect in OS X the server must be rebooted for Retrospect to see the tape drive again

Fixed the problem and am now successfully backing up. I switched SCSI cards again. I used a INITIO 9100UW card for Mac, I patched it with their OS X firmware and left the card at it's default settings, automatic termination, no external terminator on the tape drive, I erased the tapes I had tried to use before just in case. I successfully backed up over 6 gigabytes last night with no errors.

 

 

 

Cheers
