Bruce,
The single biggest complaint lodged about Colorado Memory Systems Tape 
Drives are usually the TAPES themselves. There are only a limited number 
of kinds of tapes which will work with CMS drives. You didn't mention 
what kind of tape you are using, but if you check in the manual, there is 
a list of certified tapes in there.
Secondly, if the tape you are using is correct, post another message here 
and I will walk through the install of both the tape software and 
hardware with you, as I have written a handy-dandy text file for that 
purpose. 8-)
