Tandberg SCSI tape drives also require a firmware update to be SCSI-2
compatible. However, these drives use a flash ROM for their firmware
which can be updated without removing the drive from the computer. To
update the drive’s firmware proceed as follows:
Once the computer has completed booting, enter the following commands
to update the tape drive firmware for SCSI-2 operation:
LOG OPR:
RETURN
FWUPD DVR:xxxxxx.FW
RETURN
Loading Firmware ........
Enter Target Device (ie. STR0:):
STR0:
RETURN
Sending firmware to drive ..........
where xxxxxx is the name of the firmware update file you want to load.
After the firmware has been downloaded, allow at least 30 seconds for the
streamer drive to update its firmware, then reboot your computer to reset
and initialize the new tape drive parameters.
The following is a list of firmware update files currently available:
Tape Drive Current Firmware Operation Filename
(as reported by the SCSI command)
Tandberg TDC 4xx0 firmware 05:07 or earlier SCSI-2 TSCZ2.FW
SCSI-1 TSCZ1.FW
Tandberg TDC 4xx0 firmware 07:05 SCSI-2 S20705.FW
SCSI-1 S10705.FW
Tandberg TDC 3800 firmware 07:01 or later SCSI-2 38S275.FW
SCSI-1 38S171.FW
Once the firmware has been updated, the drive is only compatible with
AM-4000/4000M’s, AM-3000M’s with AM-540’s, Eagle’s, and all Roadrunner enhanced
computers. If the drive is ever used in a configuration with an earlier style CPU board,
the firmware must be converted back to SCSI-1 operation.
