I have added an Adaptec AVA-1515 (ISA) (AIC-6360 PIO based card) as well as an Archive Python DAT tape backup unit. The card and drive are detected properly during boot up but I seem to be having a few problems backing up. Basically if I put a tape in the drive and issue: "mt rewind" the unit starts to rewind the tape but it never seems to end. The busy light stays on indefinitely. I would also like to know if there is a way to verify what has been written onto the tape by dump. I have a feeling that my backup is going a bit too fast! Dan
