This isn't directly related to the 3000 & SCSI tapes, but I thought I'd toss it in here…. The 2091 has a problem with some of the new Quantum drives, like the LP240S. A new revision (6.9) of the firmware ROM is supposed to fix this, and might be available this month. I can't remember whether the 3000 has a ROM for the SCSI or if it's included in the boot roms. But the 3000's SCSI is similar to the 2091, so maybe there are some firmware deficencies involved here as well? I heard from someone other than C= that Quantum changed something in *their* firmware that broke a couple of vendors SCSI cards. I spent a couple days trying to get an LP240S working on 2091s with little luck… Finally just put in a GVP series II and it worked fine.
