Our configuration is a COMPAQ 5000/NT Server with the STK9710 and 6
DLT7000 drives - we have 2 drives per card with the library attached to
the same card as one of the drive pairs (this was recommended by STK and
works well for us).

        Subject:        How many drives per SCSI card?

        We are about to add another ADSM server on a HPUX 10.2 system.
Today we
        have 3 production ADSM servers on MVS.  We plan on using the STK
9710
        tape library. Quantum DLT7000 drives.  We were wondering where
the
        dropoff in performance is for how many drives you connect per
SCSI card?
        If anyone could share their experiences I would appreciate it
very much
        TIA
