the 3 hard drives are on the Ultra-2 LVD Scsi cable which has a built in
terminator. the tape drive is on its own 50-pin cable, the tape drive is
terminated and is on a cable that just happens to have and external
connection (I do not think that bit matters as nothing is connected on the
external connector). The scsi bios has parity turned on and automatic
termination on both scsi buses. The tape drive was cleaned about once a week,
although when we first got the tape drive we had no idea and it went for
about 3 months without a clean (maybe this is what wrong).
term power was on originally, its now turned off.
the hard drives are on a seperate scsi bus to the tape drive.
and the seagate drive works flawlessly.
Thanks.
