I purchased a Sony 5000 DAT backup system couple of week ago and
having some problems.  My system configuration is Buslogic 946c card
ID 7, Plextor 6x CD-ROM ID 6 Fujitsu 2915 2G drive.  ID 0 and Sony 4mm
DAT drive ID 5.

I am using NT 3.51 with its backup.  The write is sucessfull with no
errors.  However I get the following error about 167mb through reading
it at the same file.  If I try to read the same file alone without any
other files I can read it with no problem.  So the problem does not
appear to with the tape and also I have tried different tapes with
same results.

-----------------
"The drive has reported a hardware failure.  Hardware error"

If I look into the Event log, I see the following message from
buslogic card.

"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\ScsiPort0.  Event
ID 11,  Type Error"
-----------------

I should mention that I have not seen this error if I turned on the
HARDWARE COMPRESSION to ON.

I have carefully checked the termination etc. 

Could it be tape drive (why fail at the same point?), driver
problems?, something I am doing wrong?  I will appericiate any help
because If there is problem with the Drive, I will like to return it
before the 30 day period.

Thanks a lot in advance for the help.
