error 206 (drive reported a failure: dirty heads, bad media, ect.)

I have been using brand new tapes, appending to the backup. Sony is not offering the tape diagnostic program for OS 9. Ran a cleaning cartridge a few times. Brand new drive shouldn't need cleaning? Don't want to update Retrospect or the OS right now. I found this other post that makes me think I have a SCSI issue: http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showf...rt=all&vc=1 Pete -
I am running Retrospect 4.0 on a G4 tower with OS 9.0.4 and just replaced my Sony SDT-7000 in an APS external case with a SDT-9000 and am now getting quite a few 206 errors during backup. This is the first backup I have attempted since the replacement and have received 3 so far without completing the backup. Nothing else is new. Any ideas why? Thanks, Pete
