The one that didn't handle wrap-around correctly?
You didn't have the STC (later STK) tape drives where only every other jumper position was used but the CE documentation didn't mention the fact?
At one time we had a string of STK drives, but they gave us nothing but problems, and were replaced with Memorex hardware very quickly.
I vaguely recall you grumbling about the CIG[1] block multiplexor channel as well.
Only until they fixed the timing (3350 response came before channel was able to handle it). Memorex plugged their controllers for slower response, thus giving us support for 3330-1 and 3350 capacity, but without the speed improvements. I fondly recall referring to it as the PIG multiplexer <g>
