Is anybody using a WangDAT 3200 DAT streamer with success?
Whenever I try to write to a tape I get errors like:

st0(ahc0:1:0): HARDWARE FAILURE asc:15,1 Mechanical positioning error

and

st0(ahc0:1:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:80 asc:c,0 Write error sks:80,1

I tried two different tapes (both can't be defect, one was new,
the other was a used one) and both experience the same problem.
I double and triple checked SCSI termination but still no go.

The DAT is connected to an Adaptec 2940UW, I'm running a 2.2.2
kernel. The relevant messages are:

ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 7 on pci0:11
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
ahc0:A:1: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
(ahc0:1:0): "WangDAT Model 3200 02.2" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(ahc0:1:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13,  drive empty
ahc0:A:6: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
(ahc0:6:0): "QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200S 300X" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:6:0): Direct-Access 3067MB (6281856 512 byte sectors)

Any ideas? Please include me in your replies as I don't subscribe
to this list (there are way too many FreeBSD mailing lists to be
subscribed to all of them :).
