Title: "SCSI interface error: controller busy..."--old rev of TAPETEST
Date: 7/28/88

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

The version of TAPETEST.EXE that is on the two-diskette "UPDATE" set is not
the most current.  The error message you may get while running that
test is. "-SCSI interface error: controller is busy executing another
command."

The sequence of events is something like this:

1.  You execute the tapetest.
2.  Select option "q".
3.  You are warned that all data will/may be lost.
4.  The tape "shoe shines".
5.  The controller resets.  On the "compatible controller card" the reset
time is greater than the time the program waits to begin the tape
test.  Thus, the controller card will be "busy."

THE SOLUTION:
There is a newer version of TAPETEST.EXE; it now has a file size of
14864 bytes.  This version of TAPETEST should be used as opposed to
the one on the "update" diskettes.
