Re: DLT 718 Problem

If the problem is intermittent, it may be an issue with cabling or termination.

Is this a single ended or HVDS 718?

Does the library display report any errors? It normally says 'Loader Ready' on the lower line of the display.

You can install HP Library & Tape Tools (www.hp.com/support/tapetools) and see if it recognizes the library and drive. If so, you can run the connectivity test and perhaps the drive read/write test (after loading a tape through the library front panel).
The journey IS the reward.
