8mm and 1/4" SCSI addressing problem

Just a small contribution to the net...
We've noticed that customers getting both the 8mm and 1/4" tape drive
options on their systems are getting both devices configured with
SCSI address 2. Tapes will read a bit from these drives with
conflicting addresses, then give you the old "read error, assuming
zeros" message. This should've been the first thing I checked, but it
wasn't and I wasted a good bit of time before I noticed it.
This is easily fixed by changing the address of one of the drives to a
free SCSI address by rotating the address knob on the back of the
drive.
Regards,
Victor Grund
