Steve, I used to have problems similar to yours. I don't know excatly which of the following actions fixed the problem, but here is what I did: Open up the Wangtec, make sure the internal cables are properly connected. [A [AUnder DOS (NOT OS/2) use the switch on ASPI4DOS that has it report all attached devices. Be sure your fans are working on both the Wangtec and on your Power supply Retension any "old" tapes that you use. Be sure that you only have terminating resitors at the end of the chains. Be sure the you have terminating resitors at both ens of the chain. All of the above was about a year ago, before I had the NEC and before I moved to OS/2. Also be sure that the heads are clean on the tape drive. Does your NEC work if the WANGTEC isn't attached? This seems to be my problem. I took the NEC to work and hooked it up to a SCO UNIX PC with a BUSTEC EISA SCSI. The BUSTEC would'nt come up with the NEC attached. The chain was like this (INternal DISK–BUSTEC–NEC). HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE os (sorry about the caps) the host adaptor can't seem to deal with that model NEC, at least when its the only external device. Hope this helps. Anybody else have any ideas?
