Most suggest I need to check cable and terminator. The thing bothers
me is that I have used those same cable and terminator for years until
recently. Also if the connection is bad why another tape drive in the
same enclosure doesn't have any problem at all.
This morning, I DID recheck the cable and made everything is firmly
attached. Strange enough the test after that was good!
I will wait to see how good it will last.
