The Ecrix drives are rated pretty high among users of this list. (for the
cheaper drives that is)
http://www.ecrix.com/
they offer a 30gb capacity and the total cost is somewhat realistic if you
are comparing it to the cost of a firewire drive. You'd probably spend about
twice what you would

Hi,
Thanks for your email Irena.
I was thinking f setting up a second backup server to run on our 100MB
network router only. This would cater for our production machines (3
machines) which have total storage of 30GB. I was thinking of getting a 30G
firewire drive which i would run from our G4
Hello Jeff,
Your problem with the Firewire converter could be caused by a number of things.
Hooking up a SCSI device to a Firewire converter and getting it to work properly is
not as simple as it seems.
One possible cause for your problem is termination power. Most of the SCSI to Firewire

I recently bought a FireREX firewire to SCSI converter in the hopes
of using my Exabyte 8700 LT (8mm) tape drive with out new iMac.
I've tried just about everything I can to get this to work, but with no luck.
Has anyone set up a similar system, or is this just not going to work?
Thanks.
In one of the messages, there was talk about firewire to SCSI bridges
and how Retrospect supports them.
Is this support for specifically made devices? The reason I ask is
we just bought a new iMac and it gets less use overall than the
current backup computer. I was considering purchasing a

We are fully committed to the best possible Mac OS X device support
regardless of interface (SCSI, FireWire, USB). Right now we are developing
Ecrix have just announced a VXA drive with integrated firewire,
bundled with Retrospect.
http://www.ecrix.com/press/pr-2001-01-09.html
I made enquiries about buying it with a local dealer, and have been
offered the previous scsi-to-firewire VXA drive at a reduced price.
This raises some
Hallo,
I am very interested in the new Sony CRX1600L-RP Firewire CD-RW
(Macintosh), because it is supported by Retrospect out of the box.
Does anybody have this CD-RW-drive and can report experiences?
The drive comes bundled with Retrospect express 4.1 (in Germany - I
do not know how it is in
Greetings all. This is probably too commercial of a message, but the list
was talking about it a couple of weeks ago.
Ecrix does now have a Firewire solution, and it is now on promotional
pricing, at $400 off list price.
This solution uses a SCSI-Firewire converter, just like some of you were
Backing up with a FireWire/SCSI adapter should work in theory, although it
will come down to the specifics of the hardware. How well does the drive
work with the adapter? We'd have to thoroughly test such a configuration
before we would officially support it, which we have yet to do
(I have updated this note to include another vendor/product)
Native FireWire on tape drives?...not yet but here are some other solutions:
Orange Micro and Ratoc Systems have both introduced FireWire/SCSI adapters
that allow a single SCSI device to be connected to IEEE 1349 (FireWire).
These
Does Dantz have any experience of these type of adapters? Would
Retrospect deal with the DAT drive correctly?

These are both inexpensive, very new and therefore relatively untried
Has anybody heard of a Firewire DAT drive. IOW, a DAT that could be
used from a Mac G4 Cube?

Are there any firewire (IEE1394) devices that would be suitable to replace a
scsi dlt type setup. In the interest of simplifying a customers G-4 setup
it would make things a lot easier.
