B. Storage Device and Driver Information
========================================
The following is a list of drivers supplied with Backup Exec v7.0.
This list displays specific device support for each driver
class as of August 26, 1997. Any capacities noted with specific
devices assumes no hardware compression. The left column (where
noted) identifies the SCSI INQUIRY string of the device. The
right column identifies Vendor and/or Model.
Note: Any information referenced with "loader" pertains to the
drive internal to a loader. Autoloader support requires a
separate driver.

Please note that Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 4MMDAT.SYS driver
also recognizes most of these drives. If you want to use our
SONYSDX.SYS driver with NT 4.0, replace Microsoft's 4MMDAT.SYS
driver with our 4MMDAT.SYS driver. The supplied drivers
have been tested against both NT 3.51 and NT 4.0.

Support for ATAPI tape drives are shipped with Windows NT 4.0;
however, ATAPI tape drive support is NOT included in Windows NT
3.51. Several computer system manufacturers have done extensive
testing and qualified these drives in some of their systems under
NT 3.51. We require Service Pack 5 for NT 3.51 systems;
however, ATAPI.SYS in NT 3.51 Service Packs 4 and 5 will NOT work
with ATAPI tape drives. ATAPI.SYS in Service Pack 3 can be used
with NT 3.51 Service Pack 5 to support ATAPI tape drives.
ATAPI.SYS from NT 3.51 service pack 3 logs tape drive busy
conditions as timeout errors in the system error event log. These
are normal conditions for tape drives and can be safely ignored.
Some computer system manufacturers have produced a replacement for
ATAPI.SYS. Please follow you computer system vendor's
recommendations.
* ATAPI device driver support is supplied for Intel platform only.

Hardware Compression
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tapes made using hardware compression on one manufacturers drive
may not be readable by a different manufacturers drive. If
exchange between different tape drive manufacturers is desired,
then software compression (or no compression at all) should be
used. Additionally, it is recommended that when hardware
compression is used on the first set on tape, all subsequent sets
should also be hardware compressed. Mixing of hardware and
software compression on the same tape should be avoided.
However, mixing of software compression and sets containing no
compression is acceptable.
Notes on specific loaders
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spectra Logic SPECTRA 4000, 5000, 9000 & 10000 Tape Library - This
loader's touch pad is not disabled during Backup Exec operation.
The only functionality that is disabled is tape movement from
slots to the access door. This makes it possible to move
tapes around in the magazine; however, various Backup Exec
hardware errors will result.

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
