Hello,

The TSM device driver does not support IBM LTO (3580) drives. You will have
to use the IBM device driver for the drives (
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Win2000). The device name will
be \\.\tapex.

Have you verified the element address to make sure that tape0 is really the
drive with element address 256? The address numbering goes from the bottom
up.

Also, there is a special Adaptec driver for use with the IBM LTO drives.
This is called out in the readme file.  Be sure and download this driver
from the website.  This driver will dramatically improve throughput.
