Just a small contribution to the net... We've noticed that customers getting both the 8mm and 1/4" tape drive options on their systems are getting both devices configured with SCSI address 2. Tapes will read a bit from these drives with conflicting addresses, then give you the old "read error, assuming zeros" message. This should've been the first thing I checked, but it wasn't and I wasted a good bit of time before I noticed it. This is easily fixed by changing the address of one of the drives to a free SCSI address by rotating the address knob on the back of the drive. Regards, Victor Grund -- Victor D.
