I forgot to mention that the drive light goes amber (orange) at the 
first attempt to read or write or even retension. I can only issue a 
status command without failure, after scsi bus reset. The device cannot 
be reset alone after it enters this fault mode (cannot be reset as a 
scsi device - I have to reset the entire bus, then scan for it to come 
back).

thanks,
Peter
