My Hardware is: Adaptech 2940UW SCSI Controller WangDAT drive configured with no hardware compression, as SCSI-2, no hardware buffering, parity is enabled. If I tar to it, it generally crashes, although when I was just testing it it gave the following error instead (other tries caused it to crash tho): st0(ahc0:6:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:7a800 asc:c,0 Write error ''Just in case'' I changed the tape, but it made no difference. When it crashes the kernel does a frame/page dump to the screen and then waits 15 seconds. I can't really get all of the info, but the message it prints is something like: Timed out while idle, LASTPHASE=.... Help? Is my DAT drive dead? Anybody know where I can get it repaired at? -Brandon
