I've never had a lick of trouble with my initio SCSI cards.
Well, not since i sent them a patch to make the 4 channel
card work with a 2.0 kernel.
Your problem sounds like a termination error or dying tape drive.
Also make sure you use top quality cables. Most external
cables are junk.
Of course the "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
Vanta [NV6] (rev 21)." isn't going to get you much support
even if it isn't the problem.
