Thanks for your response Walter. Actually, the ADSMscsi device driver will
not start. According to the NT Event Log, it is refusing to start because
of a "device not found" situation. According to the docs., this means that
the Wangdat is already being used by another driver. But I do NOT have any
other drivers loaded for this device. I have reinstalled ADSM 3 or 4 times
now. Still the same result.... a complete mystery to me..

At 02:23 PM 11/30/99 +0000, you wrote:
     The 'device not found' is this as in the 'ADSMSCSI device' was not
     found (i.e the device driver could not be loaded by NT) or the
     'Wangdat device' was not found ? If it's the first then somewere along
     the road ADSM installation went haywire and the device didn't get
     installed properly. This happened to me once on an ADSM NT server
     upgrade (3.1.1? -> 3.2.1?). This was a test environment, after
     re-installing the server software everything worked fine.

     regards Walter Ridderhof.

Second time around.. help! I'm trying to use a Wangdat 3200 with ADSM, but
whenever I start the ADSMscsi driver I get a "device not found" message.
The device (tape) is there! So what am I doing wrong?
