Hello Paul , Is the tape drive the only drive on that controller ?
- If it is the only drive then , I have just one suggestion -verify- all cables are seated correctly & -verify- that there is proper termination on the bus .
- If it is Not the only drive then , Try grabbing an pci scsi card of known goodness & place the tape drive on that all by itself (just as a test) , making sure of proper termination . If that works then reveiw the configurations of the other drives/tapes/... that are on the bus causing problems . Hth , JimL
