SCSI card for 110T DLTVS80 tape drive & PE 2950?

[John_O_Todd at Dell.com]

There are no slot adapters that I am aware of to accomplish that. You
could however order a PCI-x riser for the 2950 and it will fit then. Not
sure on prices to be able to say which will cost less.

Thanks John,
 
So then there is no adapter available to make the Adaptec 39160 SCSI
fit?

You will need to purchase a PCI-e SCSI card for the 2950.  The Adaptec
29320 is my personal choice because for tape units they are very
reliable.

Hi,

 

I have the Dell 110T DLT VS80 40/80 gig tape drive, and an Adaptec 39160
SCSI card which I just removed from my PE 2650.  Tried to install SCSI
card in the new 2950 to connect drive to 2950, and lo and behold it
don't fit.  My Dell sales rep said he thought it might fit but was not
sure.  So I need either an adapter to make SCSI card fit, or a new SCSI
card.

 

Anyone know which card to buy?  Or can I make the old card fit with an
adapter (& save some bucks)?  If I must buy a new card, will I also need
a new SCSI cable for drive/card combo?

 

Thanks.
