I have a strange problem with a Sony SDT-9000. It will start to copy files, then hangs and returns a tape write error.
It is on LSI Symbios controller. Machine is running SCO 5.0.6 with rs506a installed.
We have tried:
-Many new tapes
-Installed another SDT-9000...(still the same problem)
-Switched SCSI channels
-Switched SCSI cables
-Checked for proper termination
-The command 'tape status' usually returns hard errors
Still the same problem each time. I am down to suspecting the motherboard. But before I do this, would anyone have another idea that I can try?
Thanks very much Doug Vokins
