  Hi,

  Does anyone know if there are any drivers for operating a Sony GY8240 DTF2 tape device on Windows XP.

  Thanks

  I got the SCSI version working using Connected Corporation drivers but it’s very slow on Backup Exec 2010. 1.8MB/s write and 1MB/s read. Does anyone know how to increase data transfer rate? I read the average speed is 12MB/s but up to 24MB/s is possible. I’m guessing you need SONY’s PetaBack software to achieve that speed or a different driver.

  HP Data Protector Express 3.50 is able to write and read between 5MB/s to 20Mb/s, so I guess 12MB/s on average. I’m on evaluation trial so currently I’m looking to buy a license key. Does anyone know any other backup software that will work with SONY DTF-2 drives?
