I just got a SLR5 tape drive to backup my Meridian Mail System and Messages but after wiring it all up - SCSI cable to top SCSI connector of the SLR5 and the terminator in the bottom slot with an ID of 2, when I insert the MerMail card the SLR5 spins for a few seconds and then stops, then after Mermail boots and I try to run a backup, sometimes the drive will not do anything and sometimes it will spin like it is going to backup but in both cases I get an SEER error 1540 and then all heck breakes loose, sometimes I have to restart the Mermail card, sometimes I have to restart the entire switch before everything will work again (ie sometimes in the end I cannot dial out at all, sometimes Mermail will not work and comes up to a BNR screen looking for a password) any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
i use slr 50 tapes without a problem, i had slr 100's but they failed also, your tape driver may be faulty

This is a Tandberg SLR5 drive, I read that this is suppose to work with Mermail. I am using SLR5 tapes in it.
