Hi,
I have problem with my DDS-3 type drive. I'm able to write on it but
not read data back. If I try to read them I get card dump and tape
drive hangs up. I have tried to upgrade firmware but problem remains.
Does somebody have experience with this ?
My specs :
FreeBSD 5.2.1, generic kernel, x86 (P3), SCSI card is Adaptec AHA2940
and tape drive Python 04106.
Not terribly helpful, but I have a DAT2 working with an Adaptec 2940A.
It's worked since forever and is fine with 5.4 though I never ran
5.1/2/3. Is the machine it's attached to dual-boot? I.e. can you test
the tape drive in Windows, or Linux for example? (Well, they have to be
good for something :-)) Is this a recent problem or is this the first
time you've tried using this drive? Can you try another SCSI adapter?
I've run mine (for testing only) off the cheapest rubbish I got free
with a SCSI CDRW and it was fine.
The only other guess would be termination. Has anything else on your
SCSI chain changed? Is the terminator properly plugged in?
