I tested my tape drive and controller on another 3b1 this weekend and guess what, it WORKED! This is the same thing that happened to John Campbell. I also tried it on my machine in every slot with no other boards present and it still doesn't work. I would like to ask everyone who has a tape drive to please look at your motherboard rev. level and the controller board rev. level and report them to me via email. I will post a summary if I see anything that stands out as saying "this motherboard won't work with this controller." Thanks in advance. -- Rex Fowler <rmfowler%texrex@cirr.com> UUCP: egsner!texrex!rmfowler

As Thad discovered in his DRUN findings, these numbers ARE significant. Thanks again -- Rex Fowler <rmfowler%texrex@cirr.com> UUCP: egsner!texrex!rmfowler
