Hi all,
I have recovered a Sun DLT 4700 and am trying to put it to good use.
I downloaded DLT_xTalk-4.0.3_solaris_pkg.tar.gz from Quantum's web site,
but can't get it to work at all. This is on Solaris SPARC 2.8 as noted
by Quantum.
The instructions say: unpack and run pkgadd -d . - this won't work as
the software is not in package format. So I just cd into the directory
and run it directly:
# ./dlt_xtalk -help
===================================================================
DLTSage xTalk version 4.0.3
SCSI Interface Version 2.13
Q Engine Revision 4.0.1
Copyright 2001 - 2004
===================================================================
[...]
Default -> Wizard mode
If no options are specified on the command line, xTalk will
prompt for a device to be selected from a list of known
devices and then prompt for a script to be run on that device.
===================================================================
Note the "Wizard mode" entry.
# ./dlt_xtalk

!!! DLTSage xTalk Wizard ERROR - No devices found! !!!

So, no devices found. But I'm pretty sure the device is there:

Any ideas? The utility would be quite useful as it can do firmware updates.
