I don't have your same hardware, but some thoughts
anyway.
1. Does the hardware work under a different OS?,
or alternatively,
a. has the tape drive been verified on
another machine?, and
b. has the scsi adapter been verified on
another machine?
2. What commands do you use to write and (try to) read?
3. Does this drive have data compression? Can that
be avoided for testing?
4. How long is the SCSI cabling all told?
5. What kernel are you running? At one time I had
1.2.13, and I could not get the adaptec scsi working
right with the driver for that kernel.
