Re: Memorex 5450 tape drive = what IBM tape drive?

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to close this topic out, the problem was a loose SCSI cable -- the
connector wasn't screwed down, and had been pulled out slightly when putting
the back cover on.  Once I put that in, it auto configured with no problems.

The remaining problem with this tape drive is the auto changer continually
jamming.  If anyone knows a way to load tapes manually with this drive, I'd
appreciate the pointers.  We're trying to get the manual from the previous
owner.  And yes, I got what I paid for -- it was free <grin>.
