we have a Mountain Computer Inc. "FileSafe 2100-D" 2048 Mb 8mm DAT
drive, as distributed by DEC. it is daisy-chained off of a Decstation
3100 as a SCSI device. the problem is that it goes off line at
the drop of a hat, and requires a power cycle in order to recover.
has anyone had enough experience with this make/model to tell me
whether this is "normal"? any workarounds? please e-mail. thanks
in advance
