Hey everyone!
I've been having some proablems with my wangdat 3100 on an aha2940 over
here. I was using the st.o module for a while, but couldn't even get the
drive to read. Once I built it into the kernel proper I can get reads but
not writes. Here's the error that's showing up in my syslog:

Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current error
st09:00: sns = f0 3
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: ASC= c ASCQ= 0
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: Raw sense data:0xf0 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00
0x03 0x0c 0x12 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0c 0x00 0x00 0x80
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current error
st09:00: sns = f0 3
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: ASC= c ASCQ= 0
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: Raw sense data:0xf0 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x01 0x12 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0c 0x00 0x00 0x00
Jun 18 21:59:37 notanut kernel: st0: Error on write filemark.

This is happening on every tape that I've tried, so I think that I've
eliminated bad tapes. I've got an active terminator on the bus, the
cables are nice and short. That dat drive is the only thing on the bus
until I get the hard drive back from warrantee work. Like I said, I can
read tapes just fine, but writing them is a no-go. Any ideas?
