The VXA isn't on a PPC as the backup server. The PPC is only a
workbench I'm using to test the drive. I'm trying to figure out why
the device is always blowing up in use with hardware sense code
failures or stuck tapes. This is the second drive we've gotten from
Ecrix.
The backup system is a blue G3 with an Adaptec 2930CU card installed
for the SCSI bus. I can't find any firmware updaters or drivers on
Adaptec's site for this card for Macintoshes. I'm thinking of putting
the tape drive on its own bus with an Adaptec 2906 SCSI-2 card.
Needless to say, I'd really like this drive to be rock stable, and so
far it hasn't been. If anyone has any advice pro or con on using the
2906, I'd like to hear it.
