No such luck. Same exact error. I've got to be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. The drive is set to auto-spinup media on a load from the picker. The unit passes all onboard self tests as well. I suspect I need to format the media but that command fails as well. What other initializing command can I issue the drive other than 'START UNIT'? If it would help I have the entire SCSI reference for the drive and the changer available. (2meg PDF @ 600 odd pages). My review of this document has turned up nothing but maybe someone a bit more clued in to the SCSI system would have better luck. -- | Matthew N.
