I am running Mandrake 7.1 My ATAPI tape drive (Conner, Travan) shows as correctly recognized during bootup. However when I use the KDE Tape backup utility, with a tape in the tape drive, it keeps telling me there is no tape in the drive. I probably have it misconfigured but cannot figure out where ot how. Any help appreciated. Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux user 183185
