Changing the Internal Drive ID
This section is relevant only if you are connecting more than one backpack to
your computer.
Each backpack drive is assigned an internal drive ID when it is manufactured.
The ID is a number between 0 and 99 and initially is the last two digits of the
unit's serial number. When more than one backpack is connected to a com-
puter, the backpack driver software assigns DOS drive letters in ascending
drive ID order. The lower the drive ID number, the lower the DOS drive letter.
For example, assume that you have a computer with two floppy drives (A: and
B:) and a hard drive (C:). Assume also that you are connecting the following two
backpack CD-ROM drives:
Serial number xxxxxx35
Serial number xxxxxx17
Drive letter D: will be assigned to the drive with serial number 17 and drive let -
ter E: will be assigned to the drive with serial number 35.
There are two situations in which you may need to alter a backpack drive ID
number:
28)If you are connecting two backpack drives to one computer and they hap-
pen to have the same last two digits in the serial number. In this case
the backpack software will locate only one of the drives and assign it
a drive letter. The other drive will not be recognized. Assigning a new
drive ID to one of the drives will allow both drives to be recognized.
Note: All backpack tape drives have ID numbers 00 or 01.
2) If you are connecting two backpack CD-ROM drives to one computer
and you would like to reverse the drive letters. Since drive letters are
assigned according to drive ID numbers, the order of the drives can be
reversed by assigning new drive ID numbers.
