The issues are explained in more detail in a post I made a few weeks ago to freebsd-scsi, but as I recall it was something about positioning and the end of media markers. I could be wrong. It's possible the issues with my drive (T4) have been fixed. I haven't updated my system in a few weeks. - Rob On Wed, 28 Apr 1999 Clem.Dye@wdr.com wrote: > Rob: > > Did you get a fix for your problem?
