Hi Ed,

Is it autoloader or single tape drive?
I've seen these symptom on some series of ATL loader.
If it is single drive, can you eject it by pressing the button?

cheers - han

There is a util on Quantum's site called "DLTtools".  I beleive it has the
ability to reset a device.  I may be wrong, but have a look.  It is a
windows util.

Subject: [Networker] How to reset a DLT 7000?


   (Networker server 6.1.2, Solaris 8)
   Have any of you written code to tell a DLT 7000 to reset itself, as
if you had done a power cycle to it?  We recently upgraded from DLT
4000s to the 7000s, and are having problems where a tape won't eject.
The problems can be fixed by a power-cycle of the drive, but I'd
prefer to be able to send some sort of drive reset command.  Any
ideas?
