Hi Bryan, We've just purchased a TRI-Star CAD system which has a DTC scsi controller. I'm having problems getting TAPE backup (scsi – Archive Viper 2525s) to work with this controller. I have a similar system at home, but have the Adaptec Controller AH2742t and it works with everything I;ve tried. Does CORELscsiPro Tape Backup support, or will it work with the DTC controller? I'm really looking for a windows based program, with scheduling / unattended features. I used your software before on a Maxtor 800meg optical WORM and was very pleased with the results, but I would like to be sure that I have compatability before I commit. Is there work in progress on DTC's part to be COREL SCSI compliant? Thanks for your time… TomC.

Tom, The DTC 3280 is certified with our software and so is the 2525. The 3290 is in progress. If you are having a problem with the software, trouble shoot standard SCSI problems such as termination and cable length. If you are getting a message that says that the tape is not recognized or unsupported, you can edit the TAPEDRV.DAT file. In here simply increment the line number, add the SCSI enquiry string, and at the end add a number (after browsing up the list for a similar 525 MB QIC drive) that corresponds to a QIC type of drive. (I don't think that this is necessary with this tape though.) I hope this helps. Laszlo I hope this helps.
