Indeed I was able to format tapes and read from and write to tapes when
this tape drive was in the 486 box

Other than hardware, the 486 was fairly similar t the box I am using
now. It was running RedHat 6.1 (kernel 2.2.14) which is the same
version and kernel I am running in my new machine. I know the tape
drive works. Does this help to point towards a possible solution?
Thanks for your help.
