Actually, it's not the double tape mark (you can write as many tape marks as you want, and go past them), but all the modern drives keep track of what the SCSI standard describes as `end of recorded medium' (EOM) internally, and don't let you go past that with any command. The standard trick for QIC tapes was to start recording something from the beginning, and once you're certain you are beyond the current EOM point, to power-off the device while still writing. This gives the device no chance to write a new EOM label onto the tape. I have no idea whether this would work for a DDS drive as well, but it might be worth a try. Only old reel-to-reel drives don't have a notion of EOM, thus it has been emulated by the driver by writing two successive tape marks. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .

This drive is, of course, a rebadged something or other. Unfortunately, the drive didn't work.

It turns out that the 1718 in the dmesg output for the drive is the firmware revision number. So we needed a bigger one. ;-) Our colo techies sent us this description of the hardware: > Here are the compaq numbers from the DLT drive: > Model: TR-S12AA-CL > Assembly #: 203919-001 > Replacement Assembly #: 215390-001 > > Then there's two numbers, with bar codes in the surrounding area. > Not sure if this is of relevance to you: > > 70-80010-01 > CXA46H0562 Our middle man (for whom we thank $DEITY, because we are _not_ impressed with Compaq) came up with the following information for tracking down firmware upgrades for this drive: > Here's the link to the latest firmware: > http://www.compaq.com/support/files/allsp.html > > What you are looking for is update SP17909.

Our middle man than performed the firmware upgrade using the correct floppy. After the upgrade, dmesg output looked like this: sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device And now the drive works. I just thought I'd get this into the mailing list archives for the benefit of other people battling with Compaq SCSI tape drives. Ciao, Sheldon. -- Sometimes you get what you pay for.

These systems are currently running an older version of FreeBSD (3.3 through 3.5, I'm not sure how they were installed as that pre-dates me tenure). The installation of 4.6-RELEASE locks shortly after a message regarding ppc0 (something to the effect of "ppc0: Parallel port not found"), when I think it is looking for disk controllers or disk drives. For kicks, I tried 4.5-RELEASE as well, and it failed in the same way. When I get a chance, I'll try 4.4, 4.3 and 4.2 as well since those were the last installations that I completed myself (on similar but not identical hardware). I've tried booting from floppy (to use a network install), and from both SCSI and IDE CD-ROM. I've tried the ATA workaround on the odd chance that was the problem, but still no luck. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Any ideas on how to either fix it or get more information on what is going wrong (and what it's trying to do just before lockup)? Any help is appreciated. Regards, -ts.
