Nope. I don?t remember any Smart Array controllers
supporting
passthrough tapes until much later on. You just need a Wide Ultra 2 or
3 adapter for libraries, eg 154457-B21. There?s no mention of tape
support in the install manual either.
Thanks. I actually needed a dual port beasty so I am going to throw in an Adaptec 39160.
The MSL5026 won't even come close to taxing the Adaptec but it has a Compaq ROM and is
directly supported by SmartStart.
