This may be a bit too new for this list but I thought what the heck - maybe
one of you Compaq/DEC/HP guys would know:
Is there any reason a Smart Array controller can't be used as a simple SCSI
controller? I.E. No array, just using it to drive a tape library? TIA!
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.
