Do you mean 39160 cards? I've heard of various problems similar to what you
are seeing with 39160s which are cured by swapping to 29160s - ok you lose a
port per card but you gain reliability!

If you have any other SCSI cards I'd recommend trying these on your
StorageTek and seeing if the problems go away. I'll also try and dig out my
notes on exactly what problems the 39160s cause and see if this matches up
with what you seeing!

Good luck

Mark
