Should a tape drive device (DAT drive, SCSI) show up as a device letter under My Computer like CD-Roms, etc. or just through backup software?? This is for W2K op system.

Don't know about WIN 2K but in other WINDOWS it does not. Only in Device Manager.

It should just show up in your backup software. However, I think some drives have software that make it show up with a drive letter.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. It doesn't show up so I guess that's normal. It shows in device manager fine and in backup software though.
