Hello SCSIfolk, I am having some trouble with a new Wangtek QIC-150 SCSI tape drive. It seems to be grabbing units 0-7, and having it anywhere on the SCSI bus causes problems ranging from no SCSI to a little noise. I remember reading some similar complaints around here, and don't remember what the solution (if any) was. Would some kind soul PLEASE help me out ? AdvThanks, Gil. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Gil Tene "Some days it just doesn't pay | | devil@techunix.technion.ac.il to go to sleep in the morning." | --------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted a similar complaint (the first one?). In my case it grabbed ids 1-7. I had a disk drive at id 0. Do you have any other SCSI devices? The only solution I tried was the brute force one of returning the drive and getting my money back. I have seen some people mention that they are using the drive successfully with 386/ix 2.2. Perhaps it's a firmware bug? Perhaps people with these drives would post their firmware revision numbers and whether or not the drive works for them (and on what OS etc)? -- Anthony Shipman ACSnet: als@bohra.cpg.oz.au Computer Power Group 9th Flr, 616 St. Kilda Rd., St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia D
