I'm trying to use a TEAC 155 tape drive originally bought for a Macintosh on an '030 cube (OS1.0). Apart from the internal disk, it's the only SCSI device attached. It's terminated, SCSI address set to 1 (or 3, or 4 - the problem below doesn't depend on which). When I power up, if the drive is turned on, the boot process panics. I get the following message in the monitor window: [stuff about booting from SCSI, finding the OD, etc.] SCSI Controller, Target 7, as sc0 at 0x2014000 MAXTOR XT-8380S as sd0 at sc0 target 0 lun0 Disk Label: MyDisk Disk Capacity 349 MB, Device block 1024 bytes panic: (Cpu 0) scsi_cintr: bad sd_state If I boot with the tape drive's power off, it boots all right, and if I subsequently turn on the power SCSIInquirer sees and correctly identifies the drive....but since it wasn't configured in on startup, I can't do anything with it. Any suggestions or help? If someone can help me get this to work (or if I figure it out myself - unlikely...) I'll post the answer, since I know (from responses to previous postings) that there are others out there that would like to use these drives on a cube. Steve Anderson
