I had been using a APS HyperDAT Pro IV ( a Ultra Wide SCSI device with a SONY DT-1000 mechanism) with retrospect 5.11 on an NT 4.0 SP6 machine for about 9 months time with no problems at all. Unfortunately the drive "died" chewing a tape in the process. APS is replacing the drive under warranty, but in the meantime , since I needed to urgently restore files, APS let me buy a new HyperDAT Pro IV LVD , that I can return in under 30 days for full credit. This device is a Ultra Wide LVD SCSI with a Sony DT-11000 mechanism. I am using it with an Adaptec Ultra160 SCSI card ( designed specifically for LVD devices, so it is a perfect match). Unfortunately every time I backup and restore with Retrospect 5.11 I get a -205 "lost communication with device" after 200-500M of transfer. I even moved the card and DAT drive to a completely different NT machine , but with the same results. Does anyone else have problems/success with this DAT drive.
