I'm having trouble with an Adaptec AHA 2940AU (Narrow, Ultra) controller in
a Dell Dimension P100t computer system. The SCSI bus has a Fujitsu 4gb HD,
a NEC SCSI CD-ROM and an HP DAT drive. The harddrive and CD-ROM work
great, but almost anything I do to the tape drive generates the following
information:
I'm running 2.0.31 (Prepatch-9)
Any suggestions?
First I've enclosed the bootup information for the machine:
