Hi David,

Many thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me what is the correct "emulation setting on the M490E drive"
for this connection ?

Are there any quick and easy way for someone not familiar with HP MPE-iX
version 5.5 OS to configure and install the tape drive ?

Does it matter if the SCSI interface is Single-ended or Differential ?

A 9 track reel (HP7979A) is currently connected and user is using Fcopy to
copy data to tape.   After the switch to a M490E, can FCopy still be used
in the same manner ?

YK Yee
