It's still not working. I tried the patch that was sent to me, but it didn't seem to make a diffrence. I am still getting the same errors. I think is might have somthing to do with this actually being a HP Travin? drive. This was suggested to me by someone, I don't fully understand it. I am still under warranty, so I am thinking of sending it back and getting a new Tape Drive. I have the Adaptec 2910 scsi card for it. Tell me whether i should send this back also. I need to know which Tape Drives are fully supported in 2.1.6-RELEASE.
