Well, it worked before the Sept. 96 changes in 2.1.5-STABLE. It's possible that the day I built that kernel my tape-drive "went south"; but it seems to be a big coincidence. Prior to the 2940uw it was plugged into a 1542B. It worked fine then; but that was in 2.1.5-RELEASE. The last time it was configured like that was July, 1996. It seems to be a timing problem - is there some timeout for commands that I can adjust? I can boot 2.1.5-RELEASE (boot and fixit trick again) and make sure it still works there; then we'd know it was a software change - how's that? - Dave Rivers -
