Hi John,

Actually, this one is an LVD version which plays OK on SE...but as Stan remarked, while it will do the AVR, it doesn't respond to actual I/O requests.

IIRC, the only native driver on older MPE was for HP's DLT.  That was a SE drive, 40GB capacity compressed.  There was no driver for a FWD DLT.

I could still provide the old SE version if you didn't find an alternative.  I used to sell a million of them.
