HP DLT Surestore 40 Scsi 3 Tape Drive SCO 5.0.5

I had a DLT drive fail on a SCO 5.0.5 machine with a Adatec 2940 scsi
card.

I am trying a new DLT Surestore drive, which has a SCSI 3 interface.
The old one had a scsi 2 interface.

The new drive does not work, it reports that the tape is
write-protected.

I have installed an updated Stp Driver as supplied on the Microlite
web site, and I can read tapes without any problems, but can not write
any data.

Has anyone else seen this. Is there a work around?

Is this due to the new dlt drive only working in scsi 3 mode? If so,
would a different adapter card make a difference? Why can I read but
not write?

Any help would be appreciated.
