Cheesy/worn media?
Nah, I tried two different
tapes, both are brand new out of the box still
shrinkwrapped, and I had cleaned the heads twice over the past two days.
I'd be for borrowing a differential SCSI
adapter and trying the
original setup.
I may give that a whirl, but... since the drive and host are
definitely
working fine at 800/1600, and because the drives offline diags (not
involving the host) fail at 3200 and 6250, I don't think it's the interface
in the drive. Maybe I'm missing something?
