AmyJ Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 The type of drive is DDS - as opposed to DAT or AIT. This is normal and will not affect capacity or functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hello Lyhn Can u help me please ? Am using Express V5 for Mac and a SCSI Sony SDT-5000, the Express does not see the sony tape drive when u click the device status. When I use the apple system profiler shows up as one of the devices attached to my computer, however states "no driver" ? Any ideas on how i can resolve this or do i need to go back to version 4.3. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyhn Posted December 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hello Woof, What your os? If you use OSX the sdt-5000 needs to be turned on at startup. To me it works in OSX (Retro. 5) and OS9(Retro. 4.3) with adaptec 2940 and 2930 SCSI cards. Did you install driver extras? (get it from Dantz DL). Write more about your config. and I´ll get back to you. Ulrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 hello Lyhn, thanks for your reply, using OS9.1 with 448Mb Ram, G4 card in a 7600 all HD are SCSI including the SDT-5000. It seems from your reply that for OS9.1, I need to go back to version 4.3 ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
