The tape drive is on another SCSI controller, Is this one of the older 2940s? Do you have transfers set to 10Mb/sec in the SCSI device configuration setup for the PD1800 drive? I've been told that the older controllers actually run *faster* than the specified clock rate at the `top end' in order to work around a race condition that they later fixed. Most drives don't mind the overclocking, but some Quantums apparently have conniptions. You might try fiddling with the transfer speed! Jordan
