Charlie, the help provided with SCSIutil is not very clear, it took me a while to figure out how to use it, but heres the low-down; 1. Find out what SCSI device driver you're using. I'm using a GVP board, they imaginatively called their driver gvpscsi.device, it will PROBABLY be in DEVS: From the shell type dir devs: to get a list of the directory and look for something with SCSI in it. 2. Make a note of the SCSI ID of your Wangtek tape drive. This will be a number between 0 and 7, usually on the back of the drive. If you can't find it, don't panic. 3. the format of the command is as follows; scsiutil -dgvpscsi.device 002 -i This would look at the device driver gvpscsi.device for a device on SCSI ID of 2 (if you can't find your SCSI ID on the Wangtek, just go through from 0 to 7 one at a time) and would report detailed information from the drive. It's important not to have a space between the -d and the driver. What problem are you experiencing with the Wangtek? Kevin 68030/40 A1200… On AutoPilot from Surrey in the UK
