In the process of adding a second tape drive on the work system (a WangDat 3800), I noticed that I was mistaken when I mentioned I had set the Archive to SCSI-2 as opposed to SCSI-1. I set the home system to SCSI-1, and the 2.1.120_pre3 kernel now can access the tape completely fine (since it is an async only device, it does get the message kernel: ncr53c875-0-<2,*>: SYNC transfers not supported.). So my immediate problem is solved with the latest drivers. Did you want me to try anything else? -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Solutions (Massachusetts office) 4th floor, 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA meissner@cygnus.com, 617-354-5416 (office), 617-354-7161 (fax) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/faq.html | ||||||||||||
