Installing a TS5800 Christie Tape Drive




By Deep Frown on Mar 22, 2009

" "
I recently got given a Christie TS5800 Tape Drive and  I want to install it on my PC (running Windows XP Home SP3). I've got the leads and connected it to the parallel port and powered it up,  but being spoilt by plug and play I'm not getting the PC to recognise it. What software do I need to install to use it, drivers and back-up app etc.? Would something like Syncback Freeware version do for the backup? My plan is to use it to store files from my security cam. I use a wireless cam  to a ZTV reciever and run Debut Video Capture Software by NCH.  At present I delete the older files when the disk gets too full.  I know nothing about tape drive installation, as you can see!  Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Nige. East Anglia, UK.
