I've never had a lick of trouble with my initio SCSI cards. Well, not since i sent them a patch to make the 4 channel card work with a 2.0 kernel. Your problem sounds like a termination error or dying tape drive. Also make sure you use top quality cables. Most external cables are junk. Of course the "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Vanta [NV6] (rev 21)." isn't going to get you much support even if it isn't the problem. > > For completeness, here is my PCI info; > > bash-2.05a# cat /proc/pci > PCI devices found: > Bus 0, device 0, function 0: > Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
