I am trying to use an Archive 2060S scsi tape drive (DC600) on a MAC II. A standard backup software (Retrospect 1.1.2) does not seem to recognize the drive, eventhough their SCSI-scan program finds it and congratulates me for choosing the "excellent drive" :-) When I go to the devices menu of retrospect however I get nothing. The drive correctly responds to the Rezero Unit command and to the request sense commands. I do not know what other commands to try. It does not seem to like read/write or seek. Does anyone have experience with this drive? It has a set of jumpers and I have no idea how to set them. I managed to set the address jumpers, but I have no clue for the rest (labelled as: CF0/CF1/CF2 and PEN/DIAG). Any information (even the phone # of Archive) will be greatly appreciated! --mt (Manolis Tsangaris) --mt

I don't have experience with the 2060S specifically, but it's real
similar to the 2150S. The CF0-2 jumpers set buffer disconnect size. The
default is to have CF0 and CF2 installed. Here's a table:
Buffer Size: 2K 4K 6K 8K 12K 16K 24K 32K
Jumper: === === === === === === === ===
CF2 X X X X
CF1 X X X X
CF0 X X X X
PEN is Parity Enable, DIAG is Diagnostic.
