Re: Ultrium 920 tape drive major error, help please..
The only other thought that occurs to me now is to ensure that the tape drive works, by attaching it to a different system (maybe even one that's been known to pick up a SCSI-attached device before).
Other diagnostic steps would include attaching a different device to this SCSI controller *in this system* to verify that the card works correctly here.

Re: Ultrium 920 tape drive major error, help please..
I had a problem with this drive too - I actually sent 2 back and bought 3 different scsi cards before I worked out what was wrong.
Check the back of the tape drive where you connect the scsi cable and look for any signs of the plastic moulded connector walls being broken. You might find you have a bent pin on your scsi cable too (check to see where it is and then compare with the drive). The plastic is very fragile and breaks easily. The broken bit of the plastic covers one of the metal receptors on the drive and stops it connecting properly. I used a pin to break off the broken bit of plastic and then very carefully re-connected the scsi cable.
Hope this helps.
