installing and using the Model DLT 20/40 Cartridge Tape Drive with a host

Host SCSI Interface
Compaq Corporation has tested and supports the DLT 20/40 Cartridge Tape
Drive under the Windows NT and Novell NetWare operating systems.
The DLT 20/40Cartridge Tape Drive uses the standard SCSI-2 command set
to interface to a PC-based host system. The host system must be equipped with
a SCSI adapter to properly interface the tape drive with the host. For example,
