Jorge, I can't help you with your problem – it sure looks to me like you've done everything right in your basic setup – but I do have a sympathetic comment and follow-on question. I have a system very much like yours, same Adaptec, same Wangtec, same NEC, and I have problems mainly with the tape drive. Most frequent, though inconsistant problem is the system simply not realizing that the tape drive is present. It's like the cable isn't connected or something, but of course it is. Sometimes (maybe 30% of the time) it works, most time it doesn't. Reboots, shutting the sytem down to "cool off" (?), odd things cure the problem. Since its intermittant and not logical, no one can help me. Also have other problems when I do get the Wantec to work. Sometimes it spontaneously aborts a back-up, then cant find the drive again, sometimes I get an error saying no EOF in the final file, wierd stuff. Sooo, I hear ya but I can't help ya. But if anyone else does here, or if you solve your problems elsewhere, I'd sure like to hear what trick fixed things for you. Best of luck, and thanks for any info you can send my way.
