Well this thread sure got busy! The jumpers I needed were all the other ones on the tape drive. I was finally able to get some help from the support department from where I bought it. For some reason, it won't work with buffered mode on a 3000. Any ideas anyone? Here's the jumper settings: HDR1 – 6 installed HDR2 15-16, 17-18, 19-20 installed HDR3 – (1) B-C, (2) B-C, (3) B-C, (4) B-C E1 thru E3 jumpered E4 open E5 thru E8 jumpered E9 1-2 E10 should be 2-3 but only 1-2 works. HDR3 sets buffered mode (1 & 4 A-B) or unbuffered mode (1 & 4 B-C) and the tape format (2 & 3 B-C) QIC 150 (2) B-C, (3) A-B QIC 120 (2) A-B, (3) B-C QIC 24 I have had trouble in general with BUFFERED SCSI devices on the 3000. I am using DC6250 tapes but have not tried backing up over 150 meg as I only have a 105 meg HD. I am using HDBackup provided on the 3000. Anyone know the street price on the Wangtek?, How good is it, etc? Thank for your help, and it is a good to see a review of SCSI basics from time to time in the threads for newcomers to SCSI. Harry M.
