Hi All,

I'm running a 3575-L06 library with two 3570C drives and standard length tapes
under AIX 4.3.2.
Several times in the last couple of months these drives have reported a write
error on a tape and gone into a continuous reset cycle with all lights flashing.
The only way out of this appears to be a power off and on.  Last night this
happened first on one drive and a few hours later on the other.
I've updated microcode on the drives to the latest available level, and I'm a
bit downlevel on Atape at 4.1.7.0. Every tape that I've had these errors
reported on appears to be good when either tested or placed back into service.

Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks
