Well, it's FINALLY up and running.  It was not one, not two, but THREE 
bad tape drives.  Yoikes!  The controller (emulex) was fine.  Once I 
finally yanked a working drive from a friends machine, it booted. 

Does anyone know of a common repair on archive drives?  I see these 
things cheap at local swap fests but I don't wanna risk MORE bad drives.  
If I can readjust/repair these it might be better.  Or not.

Anyway, it's running.  Yay!  

I'll of course be asking another round of new questions soon.

Bill
