Jim,

You also may want to check if your tape drive has compression switched on
automatically via the dip switches - it needs to be off.

I know I had to rip my drive out and change the DIP settings - my dell is a
1500SC.

On the info disk you get it should document the Dip switch settings there.

Hope this helps

Kevin
