I have an Archive Viper 150 tape drive that has served me well for many years. I have never had difficulty getting the maximum performance of about 100K/second writing speed from it... ...until upgrade my old 486DX33 motherboard to a Pentium 100 (ASUS). Now the tape drive will no longer stream and typical writing speed has dropped to about 50K/second. My first thought was something with the new SCSI controller (ASUS SC200) was the problem so I put my old Adaptec 1542C in, but the result was the same (I even tried putting the drive alone on the bus). I tried team, but it didn't help. I'm fishing for where to look next. Ideas? -john
