Why not call 'em up and get a new one? I just installed an Archive tape
drive on my machine (ISC 2.0.2). I called Archive (800-237-4929) and
spoke to Lisa (x5557). She sent it out the same day. The driver installed
with minimal hassle (I had to do the kernel rebuild manually after using
the supplied tape drive control program to change configuration, since
their installation script assumes you haven't had to change any jumpers
on the card -- fat chance :-). It works just fine. After the absolutely
*execrable* "documentation" that came with the drive, I was surprised
and very pleased by the helpfulness and friendliness of their tech
support.
