ADIC Tape Drive Detected and Installed as Quantum 7000 (177249)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q177249 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the external ADIC DS9700D tape drive, Windows
NT may detect the unit as a Quantum DLT 7000 tape device and load the
corresponding driver (Dlttape.sys) contained on the Windows NT installation
compact disc. After you restart the computer, the following error message
may occur:
DLT tape device could not be found.
NOTE: Control Panel, tape devices will show the DLT tape drive as
installed.
CAUSE
The Dlttape.sys driver supplied with Windows NT 4.0 does not support the
ADIC DS9700D tape drive.
RESOLUTION
Go to the following location to download Jan97nt.exe, which contains an
updated Dlttape.sys driver for the ADIC DS9700D tape device:

The Jan97nt.exe file expands to five files. An explanation of these files
is in the Readme.4.3b file located on the same page. Replace the
Dlttape.sys file in the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder with the one
you just downloaded and extracted.
Tape drives with updated firmware may require the latest DLT7000.sys driver
from Quantum. If you have a Compaq computer, obtain SP4429 from Compaq.
