  • 1.  IBM 3600 LTO Tape Library 21P9994

    Posted Mon January 30, 2023 09:18 AM
    Being fond of older systems, thought I'd give tape drives a try, but am entirely lost on what power or data connectors these need. I have a handful of SCSI connectors and none quite fit sadly. Any pointing in the right direction is greatly appreciated, afraid I can't seem to find a good contact for IBM.

    I am not familiar with the 3600 library, but Google points here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hardware-and-operating-system-requirements-ibm-3600-lto-tape-library
    A quote from there:
    The IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (19K4646) is the only SCSI adapter supported for external attachment of these devices at this time.
    The following LVD SCSI Cables are supported:
    
    Netfinity 2 M Ultra2 SCSI Cable (03K9310)
    Netfinity 4.3 M Ultra2 SCSI Cable (03K9311)​
