Hi, folks.
I'm experimenting with various old SCSI tape drives to
see which
will work with my PDP-11/34 with an Emulex SCSI card.
To my surprise, not all SCSI tape drives are created equal.
Right, there was
SCSI, SCSI-II and SCSI-III. Also, a lot of
drives did not correctly support SOME features that others
did. it got VERY messy. Other drives had weird timing
restrictions, or certain commands must be given is a
specific order, or they caused an error or lack of response.
