Hello! There is many klugdes with this device :-( To make modes manual settable, you need to switch jumpers on bottom of the device. You can find the description at Sony's site: http://www.sony-cp.com/_E/Support/Download/Compatibility/unix.pdf But this may not help you :-> It works rather stable in it standard mode (0x13 at boot time, 0 is reported by mt status, this also depends on those jumpers). In my case it works well for some time after power on. Especially for small dumps < 100MB per day. But if you erase the tape and soon dump on it 4Gb (with compression), it fails... It dumps very slow (100Kb/s instead of 1111Mb/s) and very little. IMHO it overheats. After the drive began to work in the wrong way, you can try to power off, wait several minuts, power on procedure to make it back alive. Good luck.
