This is supposedly the third tape drive from our vendor (but at least the second I'm sure about) and we have tried internal and external termination (with more than one external terminator). We have sent the drive back to the vendor multiple times and they have tested it and sent it back with us getting the same results. The current drive was sent to us directly from a NetApp engineer (she got it from our vendor) who tested it successfully on a F760. We don't have another system we could test it on ourselves.
BTW, we're running Data ONTAP 5.3.4R3.

Any ideas or help would be sincerely appreciated.
Is the tape unit fried? Have you tested it to make sure that it works on other systems, and that the scsi connection is correctly terminated.

Sounds to me like a bum SCSI controller.
