Greetings!
Based on the comment in a message posted last fall, I downloaded and
installed the Overland Data Depot4 software that was mentioned during
a discussion of SCSI tape tools. But so far I've been stumped in
getting it to work. Basic system is a freshly set up Win98SE and an
Adaptec 1522 SCSI board connected to a Qualstar 9track. Depot4
installs and runs without issue but when I try to point it at the ASPI
drivers it fails to recognize anything. Any suggestions on where to
look or what to tweak would be seriously appreciated!

I have all types of the original Overland Pertec controllers and none
were SCSI. There were drivers for those controllers, but nothing for
any generic thing like ASPI that I encountered.
If this is for their tape libraries, that is way after my time.
Their utilities were great, handling a lot of scenarios and letting you
configure for a lot of situations to save having to code and break up
records yourself.
Not much use I guess, but Depot goes to the original programmed I/O,
ATA, and PCI controllers.
thanks
