IBM Serverraid 4Lx and Dell PV-122T LTO2 SLOW!

[Ulrik_Damm]

Added above configuration to an IBM server, and find it very slow (<20 MB/s.)
Original backup configuration still built into the server:
Adaptec on-board AIC-7892 Ultra 160 SCSI and HP4 DAT running >100MB/s.
Tried with both MS driver v. 7.10.18.0 and IBM's v. 4.80.26.0 on MS Windows 2000 SP3 server.
Bus seems terminated alright.

Any idea how I can speed it up?
Thanks.

Ulrik.

The Dell PV-122T is listed as 'Tested' alright.

Running BE 10.0 b. 5484.
Where do I get b.5520 to be able to install the new driver-file?
