OK, you've definitely got a sick SCSI chain. It's time to start doing the hardware shuffle. Swap out the SCSI card and/or try the tape drive on an entirely different machine. Is there anything else on the chain the tape drive? Try taking it off (make sure you're still properly terminated). Something, somewhere, has decided to die. Find it and your problems should go away. Good luck. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
