I'm having trouble getting a WangDAT 6200 (6130HS) to work under WinNT (9/93) with my Ultrastor 34F. I select the DAT 4mm drive, but it fails to start. The drive works fine on other systems, and when I boot DOS, the controller finds the tape drive (as shown in the status messages). But under WinNT, I get a service event #7026. Any ideas? This drive is listed in the hardware compatibility list, but only that it was tested with a Ultrastor 24F. Read action !reply Enter reply.

Can anyone tell me if Microsoft is considering a driver for these cheapo Wangtek 6200s? (I have MDN L2, is there any sample code for a SCSI tape device in the NT DDK?) Read action !
