Default Backup Exec 10 and LTO gen 2 tape drives

A client is upgrading their server wishing to use BE 10 with the new tape drive. I've heard that BE 10 won't work with an LTO gen 2 drive and that the client will need at least BE 11D. Can anyone confirm this? and if so is there a fix?

The device wizard looks like it 'knows' there's an LTO drive there even says it's installed the Veritas drivers except it hasn't.

Cheers

I had BE 9.1 working with LTO2 tapes (200/400). I'd upgrade if possible though. Version 12 has just come out so there won't be one for a while.

Curiously, lowering the SCSI card to 160 seems to have sorted it And it was giving just under 2GB/min throughput too.
