Adam, last week I installed a scsi based tape drive on one of my Rh7.2 systems and after installing the mt-st rpm had no problem accessing the device. Is your scsi tape device terminated or doubly terminated? Some drive devices have a termination function internal. What kind of scsi controller card are you using. Does your scsi bios "see" the tape device? Bob "Adam J.
