The SCSI ID of the tape is 0, could this be a problem? (The tape drive is
the only device on the SCSI bus, other than the controller card which
claims to be using SCSI ID 7.) Both the card and the tape drive are being
detected at bootup, although there is the "Unable to get major 9 for SCSI
tapes." message I described in my original post.
The external SCSI bus is terminated, and I am using only the external
connector. Do I need to do something special to terminate the internal
connector(s)?
Thanks,
Geoff
