Dave and All,

If I'm not mistaken the Seagate Tapestore installation guide agrees with the way you've got the IDE components configured, but I don't know why. Their instructions say NOT to install the tapedrive on an IDE channel with a harddrive. Maybe someone else can enlighten us as to why.

IDE is a purely synchronous bus which means that all devices must run at the same speed. The bus will only operate at the slowest common denominator of the two drives connected. Put the Tape and IDE on the secondary IDE controller.
