- We are using the Adaptec 1542B SCSI host adapter and Wangtek 5150ES
- SCSI tape drives with excellent results. We have done this both with
- and without SCSI disk drives on the same controller.
-
- The only thing to beware of is the "default streaming mode" jumper on
- the tape drive. If this is not set, the tape does not stream, and is
- unbearably slow.
