Has anyone gotten a Cltd scsi controller (using scsidos 3.0) to work with a scsi tape drive? I can't get my 3m 40mg tape to work with the Cltd at all. OR… Does anyone know of a scsi controller that will work with this tape drive and support my adaptec scsi-st506 adapters. I'll buy a new scsi controller if i can use my existing harddrives with it. thanks

Mark, the problem with getting a SCSI tape drive to work is that you will need to interface to the C ltd driver which does not conform to the curret "Scsidirect" protocol used by CBM. I do not know of anyone writing newer software to make the C Ltd. hardware work with Scsidirect, and Microdyn wouldn't pay me to do it, althought they had no problems with me doing it for PD. Other projects have to come first and I do not have a Kronos controller:(
