I recently bought an Archive 2060 tape drive, and I have been having major
problems trying to make it work. Does anyone out there have the beast working
with SCO UNIX 3.2?

I got the device driver for the tape drive installed fine, but everytime I
access the drive, it causes my kernel to panic!!! I know the SCSI sub-system
is working fine because I have an 80 Mb hard disk on an Adaptec 1540B 
controller.  I have never really had a problem with the hard disk. Just the 
tape drive.

Right now, I have the tape drive configured as device number 6, with a 32 Kb
buffer disconnect. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you one and all that answer.
