It's possible the dump card states are harmless. I have some systems that do a dump card state on boot but that have never exhibited an actual problem. Another suggestion is to check if you have the latest firmware for both the tape drive and the controller. Still more people will probably say that there is bad voodoo between whoever your controller vendor is and whoever your drive vendor is. Mike
