Chris Lee Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 i'm running OS X jag Quantum DLT1 Retrospect 5.0.2 Powerdomain 2930 scsi adapter Retrospect configuration sees the tape drive and begins the process of backing up but then the computer freezes and prompts to hold the power button to restart the computer. Did you run into this problem, do you have a solution? The tape drive backs up fine in OS 9.2 but does not work in X... what's up?!!?!?

natew Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Hi Sorry to say your SCSI card is not supported in OSX. The details you need are listed in the page below: http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27381 Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoffman Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Quoting from the referenced article: Code: Mac OS 10.2.1 and 10.2.6 (Jaguar) Supported Adapters Adaptec PowerDomain AHA-2930CU And, since I am using one of these cards, I know it works very well with Retrospect 5.0.238, Mac OS X 10.2.6, and all the other latest software drivers and components. Now I notice that Chris is using Retrospect 5.0.2. I suggest updating to the latest Retrospect, and also be sure everything (!) else is up to date. I experienced hangs with prior versions of the software that have all disappeared with the current latest versions. If that does not work Chris, come back with lots more details of your configuration, both hardware and software. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lee Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 so according to the posted article the powerdomain 2930cu is a tested and approved scsi card. i am using OS 10.2.6, i have updated the drivers for the scsi card via updates from adaptec, and retrospect is 5.0.238. as far as i am aware, all software is current. what further details will help to identify why my computer hangs once it starts the process of backing up?

natew Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I stand corrected How many pins is the connection on your tape drive? Your card has 50. If the number of pins differs you will likely have problems with the device in OSX. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
