Re: 8mm and 170

Rhett,

You have the expansion so you have a slot for the card.
The card you need is a FC #2729 which will have a 68pin HVD SCSI port on the back of it. That card MUST go into slot E09 in the expansion unit. That same card drives all external tape that the 170 supports.
I have several of these cards laying around so if you need one please contact me off line.

Hi,

I have to connect dual 8mm external tape drive (7208-234) to a 170 (with
expansion unit). I am not sure about the connectors and such. The connector
that comes with 8mm drive is big connector one. And all I can see at back of
170 is "small teethed" connectors (SCSI?).
Do I need a specific cable or addon card for 170? 
Thanks,
