Pat's right on (of course). I have a lot of LVD
drives on Adaptec
2940UW controllers, and also on LSI MegaRAID controllers (475, etc).
That's a very common interface, actually.
Beware the 2944 controller however. Not the same. It's HVD, and an LVD
drive and HVD controller will make short work of one, the other, or both
if connected.
My tape changer came with 2 2944 controllers. It's a Quantum ATL-7100
changer with 2 DLT 7000 drives in it. I'd very much like to run it on
non-2944 drives. Anyone know how to get the HVD drives to interoperate
with normal drives/controllers? I'm guessing that the quantum drives can
be reconfigured, but I'm not sure about the changer hardware.
