Well.. now I have tried three different tapedrives, and two of them  
are known to work with Macos 9.1 (Retrospect)....
I'm getting the same error for all when trying to access the written  
data.... "Device busy"

Can there be any issues with the Powerbook SCSI-interface ?
just thinking that this a Powerbook Orig G3 (Kanga) and it has that  
funny small square SCSI-interface ....

have tried to terminate the SCSI-chain, not terminate, using active  
term's, built-in termination(D2 box) etc etc... all same issue

any ideas are greatly appreciated .....
