Hi,	I've also got this kind of problems before (not only with tape drive
controllers, but also with Sound blaster).  The problems disappeared after
I slowed down the bus speed using an option in the cmos setup.  I think 
most (if not all) of the 386/40 and 33 motherboards have such an option...
well, maybe it's only in the new boards.
