Hey all ! *grumpf* still not working. Although I can change the DENSITY setting with CONF 46, it doesn't "hold" it. The moment I try to write a tape, it switches back to the original 6250 setting. Meaning (apparently) that the host is forcing it to 6250... So... how does one tell that thing that host (SCSI) commands can **NOT** override the default density stored with CONF46 ? I grabbed the Sun manual, but that didn't say much about it, just that it had a DENSITY switch which mine doesn't have, and the info on the COFN46 stuff... --fred
