HELP!  I have an everex streaming tape controller, model 811, quick 02, the
newest version of everex streaming tape software, and a CORE tape  backup,
external, CT60E.  After purchasing this assortment at a clearance sale, I
have since been told by an everex tech(I can not find core's #) that everex
run a pal chip in their drives to recognize the everex controller.  Why
this card was ever bundled with the core tapedrive, I don't know.  Anyway,
guess what?  Everytime I run the tape test, I get "bad ID in configuration"
messages after it hangs up at various parts of the test.  

I guess I need advice.  I have been told that sytos? streaming tape
software may run with this combo.  Or do I need to buy a core
controller(which, by the  way, no one sells anymore)?  Any and all advice
appreciated and\or paid for.

                                             thanx,
                                             jeff fulford
