Attempting to get this 9730 working with little luck so far. The unit has 1 35/70 drive, attached to a 2944UW card with diff. terminator, windows 2k server. The problem so far has been having this unit and/or drive seen on the scsi chain. I've tried directly attaching the scsi cable to the drive avoiding the internal scsi, configured the drive to id=1, off lib with no luck. Also the other way into the 9730 and then to the drive without luck either. The unit has no errors, sometimes but I think there related to the theta, I power off & on or system reset and it's fine. The only other concern I have is the scsi cable, I'm not sure whether it's a truly a diff scsi cable. I would think the adaptec card would notice the 9730 on the chain regardless if a drive was installed which it's not. Any thoughts on the setup or something specific with a single drive? I've checked all the internal connections throughout and nothing was lose. Any diagnostics besides the panel?
Also concerning the theta/zmotor mechanism, is their any maintenance required like lubrication w/fine oil?
