Hi,
 
MaxSGList does most certainly work on Emulex. What was the setting before you 
changed it? And did you reboot after you modified it.
Also, are you sure you are using the lpxnds driver? If you aren't, that setting 
won't matter.
 
With the correct setting, mt -f \\.\Tape0 status should show a max block size 
of larger than 128K, so I suspect you have to try again. Might be elxsli2 or 
something like that--check the device manager to figure out the driver.

2. set registry setting
(../Services/lpxnds/Parameters/device/MaximumSGList) to hex 33 (ok, should
only work for Adaptec devices but what the heck...)

When I do 'mt -f \\.\Tape? status' on W2k the default, max and min
blocksize are 64, 128 and 4 respectively.

When I do 'scanner' from the backup server, all the tapes are of record
size 128K.
