gsequoia Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Okay, I've got Retrospect Desktop 5.0.238 and OS 10.2.8... I can't get it to work with my Sony SDT-9000 external SCSI device. I get error 102 (Trouble Communicating) no matter what I do, here is what I've done... Install latest driver update (as of last week) Changed SCSI ID Changed SCSI Cable Changed SCSI Termination Used a different (known good) SDT-9000 drive (I have a few of them at work) Upgraded Sony Firmware Used varous different media I generally get this message after it gets about 125 megs backed up if that matters. I also have a Sony SDX-500C on the chain as well as a Quantem DLT IV Drive. I get this error without the other devices on the SCSI chain and with, no difference in the problem. Any ideas?

natew Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hi What SCSI adapter are you using? Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsequoia Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Onboard adapter on Beige G3/266. There is nothing on the internal bus. One of my ideas that I haven't done yet is to wire in an external DB25 connector to the internal bus (you can get those just about anywhere, the only thing that'll make it interesting is that I have no spare PCI slots ) Sequoia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 The SCSI cards bundled with the beige G3 are not supported by Dantz in any version of OS X. See the following link for SCSI card compatibility in OS X. http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=27381 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsequoia Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Not to be extra annoying, but the curious part about this is that my AIT2 and DLT drives work great, it's just DDS3 drives that have the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
