I had not been following this thread until now but...

Several years ago I built two AntiSPAM/Virus gatways on DL380 G3's. Both had
DLT's attached.

At first these were attached via the 5i controller. Later after much hair
pulling, I ended up adding in an Adaptec card for them.

I don't know whya, but the DLT would just not work on the 5i's.

Good luck,

-Erin
