SCSI tape drive with Adaptec adapter...

[Gregory Gulik]

It's the Adaptec 2940 SCSI card with a Seagate Travan 10G/20G tape drive 
that identifies itself as a Conner CTT8000-S.

You can catch up on the thread in the archives:

I tried resetting the CMOS to clear my BIOS settings and except for 
losing my mouse for a while it didn't do any good.  As a matter of fact, 
it's worse than before:

Eeek...  Anyway, I don't have another SCSI card to try and the only 
other SCSI device I could find, a SCSI CD-ROM drive didn't work either. 
  I'm making arrangements to borrow a friends SCSI card to try it out in 
case this card is just plain bad.
