I discovered the problem -- it turned out to be the SCSI chain wasn't
correctly terminated. (or it may have been because I was using passive
termination -- I'm not sure)
I purchased a new internal SCSI cable with an active terminator and now it
works fine.

I just installed an internal SCSI HP DDS3 drive and am having trouble getting
it to work.
If I put in a new tape and try to erase it receive the following error:
z8:~/backup# mt -f /dev/st0 erase
/dev/st0: Input/output error
and the following shows up in the syslog:

This is a SCSI tape drive. (I've seen it ONCE as IDE although..)
Take a look at the SCSI - Tape Howto.
Hope this points in the right direction.
Open up your case, and see what cable its attach

Ok, i need to back up that 9GB disk drive. My system has an Eagle(Exabyte)
tape drive. The cartridge has TR3 on it. 95 seems to save files to a tape.
I can retension the tape by mt -f/dev/ftape retenstion, but when I try to
erase or save something to the tape, I get:
mt: /dev/ftape: I/O err
