(Old) Tape Library ... where to find more information?
Hi,
recently I was able to buy an old Tape Library for myself at home. I wasn't able to test it (and I was expecting problems but I wanted to test it. It has the lable "transtec 7500" in the front of the machine, it has one DLT-Drive in it and it can store up to 9 DL-Tapes in it. But when I try to start it, the DLT-Drive itself seems to have problems. At least it sounds like it tries to "open" itself but isn't able to. Now my question: - does anyone here knows that box and knows where I can find more documentation? - I have a standalone DLT-Drive already in a Sun Unipack. Is it possible to switch the broke DLT-Drive in that library against the one in the Unipack or are they completely different? Is there a "manual" way to open such a DLT-Drive? Ciao, Hanno -- #Wieso starb der Informatiker in der Dusche? Auf dem Shampoo stand: #Auftragen. Einreiben. Wiederholen. |

A quick Google search using "transtec 7500" dlt as argument revealed http://www.transtec.de/D/D/products/.../dlt1vs80.html I´d contact the manufacturer maybe he´s willing to help.

There are different mechanics and firmware implementations between
standalone and library DLT drives. The standalone drive probably won't communicate with the library via the serial port. Ralf-Peter |
