tape drive error

[Eric Shibata]

Hi Gene,
Do you mean interrupts?
When I look at my /proc/interrupts I know I have other things there with my 
scsi adapter from BusLogic.

Let's just say it was a cabling problem. When I insert the tape, it makes 
sound like it's rewind the tape. Would it be able to do that?
This is my first time setting up a tape drive, it didn't sound like it 
should be this difficult.
Thanks,
ERS

That sounds a bit like cabling and or termination problems.
