Re: tape drive problems
I discovered the problem -- it turned out to be the SCSI chain wasn't
correctly terminated. (or it may have been because I was using passive
termination -- I'm not sure)
I purchased a new internal SCSI cable with an active terminator and now it
works fine.
Posting this here in the hopes it may help someone down the road.
