- It's a failure at the SCSI interface controller chip level. In other
- words, it's not your tape drive saying the tape is unreadable, it's
- your SCSI interface controller saying your SCSI bus is unreadable.
- The software can not and will not attempt to recover.
-
- Basically, it is a hardware problem, although it is often as simple as
- not having proper termination on the SCSI bus. Make sure the end of
- your bus is terminated, probably by the presense of a terminator
- plugged into the "other" connector on the A3070.
