It may be that the tape has termination set via jumpers, or more likely via
resistor packs on the underside. This may cause the problem if both the last
drive and the tape drive has termination present. It then wouldn't matter
where it was on the chain, it would still cause a problem.

I'm not sure but I've tried it with the tape drive only connected up to the
MDFS, with the tape drive between the MDFS and the Winchester discs and with
the tape drive at the end of the chain, so one way or another that ought to
cover all the termination possibilities.

Best wishes,


Ian

Is the SCSI bus terminated at the tape drive end?
