Hmmmm, 

It seems to be this tape drive, or my motherboard!  whatever configuration
I use the tape drive always fails to work on either my 2920 or my 2940 but
it works ok on the 1542....

Mabe a timing problem related to PCI?

I also hate HP!  This 5p scanner has auto termination which isn't!  1
active terminator plug solved some long standing problems here...

The SCSI ID's are all sane and detected correctly by the BIOS but not the
kernel!
