If this is a 60Meg QIC tape drive then perhaps you should be diggihn a hole to bury it in! Seriously, all of the old FT60's we had failed with the same problem: the rubber roller on the tape drive motor melted. Yours is almost certainly beginning to get soft even if that is not the problem. Take a look at your head too. I doubt it's your hardware. ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose fantasy. Dave Alderman -- dave@persprog.com ======================================
