Does anyone know if my Sony AIT external 8 slot autoloader, model LIB-D81 is supported with my Retrospect 5.1.177 for OS 9?

Retrospect shows in the 'Device Status':
SCSI ID: 0
Vendor: Sony
Product: LIB-D81
Version 0104
Driver: (no driver)

My computer works fine recognizing my other tape drive when I have it hooked up - an external 4 tape SONY AIT-2 autoloader (TSL-500c I think is the model).

Thanks!

john allen Said:

Perhaps - you haven't provided enough information to answer your question. Specifically missing are the type of AIT drive and Retrospect Driver Update ("RDU") version that you are running (see the Retrospect log, or "about Retrospect" in the Apple menu).

Here is a link to the (free) RDU updates for your version of Retrospect:
Retrospect 5.1 updates and RDU

Here is the database info of supported devices for the LIB-D81:
Retrospect Supported Devices - LIB-D81

Hope this helps,

Thanks.

Turns out the fix was simple.

Since Retrospect seemed to recognize I had the LIB-D81 connected, I hadn't bothered to change the SCSI ID of the LIB-D81.

But changing the SCSI ID of the LIB-D81 fixed my problem.

Thanks!
