(8-bit) operation, set switch 9 to the OFF position. This allows the DDS-4
drive to terminate the upper byte of the SCSI bus.
Vendor ID 2
Settings:
Switch 10 ON = Vendor ID is “SEAGATE DAT” (default)
Switch 10 OFF = Vendor ID is “ARCHIVE Python”
Switch 10 determines the vendor ID that the internal tape drive returns
when it receives a SCSI “Inquiry” command. By default, the drive returns
the vendor ID
SEAGATE DAT.
Setting switch 10 to the OFF position configures the drive to return the
vendor ID
ARCHIVE Python. Independent software vendors can use this
vendor ID to provide software compatibility with previous Quantum
DDS tape drives.
Recording Drive Information 2
After you review and, if necessary, change the drive’s default settings,
record the drive information. That way, you can reference this
information in the future, without having to gain access to the drive
inside your computer.
Accessing the Inside of Your Computer 2
To gain access to the inside of your computer:
1 Shut down the computer as you would normally. Then turn off the
computer and all peripherals connected to it.
Note: Narrow SCSI is not recommended.
Switch 9 is reserved on internal DAT 72 drives.
