Stp: Error on SCSI tape2 (ha=0 id=4 lun=0) medium error (During backup)

This error comes up sporadically doing a cpio backup of Sco 3.2 4.2
system:

    Stp: Error on SCSI tape 2 (ha=0 id=4 lun=0) medium error
    Raw retry limit exceeded
    I/O error on write, errno 5
    I/O error

What does this mean?

Worn tapes and/or dirty drives can cause this.
Replace the tape and clean the drive.
If you still get the message, then the drive may be going bad.

1. WARNING: arad: adapter 0 Error: Selection Timeout (ha=0 bus=0 id=1 lun=0)

I have a HP Netserver 4d/66 (486dx2/66 EISA)
with 48MB ram,
a 4.3GB stinger scsi 3 Ultra wide micropolis hard drive
  running off a Adaptec AHA-4742W controller as scsi id 0 (on wide bus)
  (it has both scsi 2  50 pin and wide bus on one card),
a HP dds-1 DAT drive on the 50 pin bus as scsi id 2
a toshiba X12 scsi CDROM on the 50 pin bus as scsi id 5.

a WD 8013 ethernet card
a ARNET OCTIPORT smart serial card set to port 280 mem C000 (for 64k)
a US Robotics 28.8 internal modem set to com2

I an running
SCO OpenServer Enterprise System (ver 5.0.4p)
installed via "fresh install" from CDROM

When I boot up I get this error message:
WARNING: arad: adapter 0 Error: Selection Timeout (ha=0 bus=0 id=1
lun=0)
arad is the adapter code that refers to the AHA-4272W.
Eveything else runs ok.

The funny thing is I have never had anything installed in this server
that
was set to scsi 1.

Please tell me what file or files I need to look in and or any
suggestions
as how to resolve this issue.

This is my first post, I have tried to be complete. Thanks in advance,
Daryl
