I have a MaynStream 1300DAT drive, that hooks up via SCSI, and I was wondering how to get it up and running on my Mac?
The Maynard Systems MaynStream, at least some models, is actually a Tandberg 3100S deck, and it is supported by Retrospect.
Note that Dantz (www.dantz.com) has several versions of Retrospect. I think the lowest end version doesn't handle tape drives so make sure you get a version that does.
It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the later HP DDS-2 drives, the 3100 being DS-1, but after Nakamichi bought Maynard they clearanced all their DAT products for $99 at one of the Silicon Valley liquidators, and some of us picked up a good bargain.
Nakamichi had a devil of a time with its next product, a CD jukebox, and that product failed in the marketplace, and the stock of that product was clearanced at another S.V. liquidator.
For a G3 MT, there is a bezel available for a DDS drive, allowing the drive to be mounted internally.
(Earlier Quadra models also supported internal DDS drives, and bezels were available for these machines. The Apple Network Server also supported a DDS drive).
Yup, I've have one on my WGS 8550 Server. I don't think I had it installed on my WGS 80 but I could have.
I got an HP DDS-2 and a DDS-1 drive for $5 total. I just wish I'd splurged and got two more. This was at the Livermore swap meet a few years ago.
