Marco,
With your question in mind, I more closely examined the BIOSs.
The tape drive is on channel B. I have examined the system BIOS and found that
channel B is configured as SCSI, as indicated below:
Integrated Devices ->
Embedded RAID Controller..........RAID Enabled
Channel A........................RAID
Channel B........................SCSI
I examined the PERC BIOS and found that channel B was set for 320M. I changed
that to Ultra-2, to better match the specs that I read on the tape drive.
The tape drive is still not detected.
Thanks for your previous reply, and I would appreciate your further suggestions,
comments, or guidance.
