I have a TLZ09 installed on an alpha 1200 running 5.0. The tape device is
accessible, however is behaving 'strangely'. When I insert the tape, it
takes a while for the activity lights to stop blinking. When I offline the
tape, I often get errors of "place tape online".. when i go to online it, I
get "no medium". Every night for backups, I get an error "place tape on
line" when the tape is already in drive, and I onlined it before leaving.
Below is partially what I get when doing a status. I'm particularly
concerned about the cam_status, scsi_status and scsi_sense_data. What do
those mean?

scsi_status 0x2 SCSI_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION

Does anyone have any ideas??
