	Here's something a little even more puzzling...  Whether I have a 
tape in the drive or not, I begin with this error message and can never 
even use the tape drive:

	tar -tvf /dev/nrst0
	tar: read error on /dev/nrst0 : Input/output error

	or:

	tar -tvf /dev/rst0 
	tar: read error on /dev/rst0 : Input/output error


	For reference, here is my hardware configuration:

ahb0: reading board settings, int=11
ahb0 at 0x4000-0x40ff irq 11 on eisa slot 4
(ahb0:0:0): "MICROP 3243-19MZ  Q4D HT02" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahb0:0:0): Direct-Access 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors)
sd0(ahb0:0:0): with 3956 cyls, 19 heads, and an average 111 sectors/track
(ahb0:1:0): "IMPRIMIS 94601-15 4614" type 0 fixed SCSI 1
sd1(ahb0:1:0): Direct-Access 992MB (2031705 512 byte sectors)
sd1(ahb0:1:0): with 1931 cyls, 15 heads, and an average 70 sectors/track
(ahb0:4:0): "TANDBERG  TDC 4100 =04Y" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(ahb0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0,  drive empty


	The adaptec is a 274x running in Enhanced mode.  Another 
interesting note is that I cannot get my Seagate Imprimis (Wren) to Fdisk 
or disklabel so that I may newfs the drive...??!!  But the tape drive 
problem is a real pain in the a$$.  If anyone has any thoughts on this, 
I'd be happy to see this problem leave....

Thanks!	:-)
