I am trying to get a SCSI tape drive to detect under 2.1.7. It has no identifying markings, unfortunately. It takes "DDS/90m" 4mm tapes that I am assured hold 4 GB. I connected the drive to my Buslogic BT-948's external mini 50-pin connector, recompiled the kernel with device st0 uncommented, rebooted and -- nothing. It seemed to take a little longer than usual for SCSI devices to settle, but I reboot so infrequently that I can't be sure that's real. I made st0: /dev# ./MAKEDEV st0 /dev# ls st* st0ctl.0 st0ctl.2 stderr stdout st0ctl.1 st0ctl.3 stdin The tape drive is terminated. It has a little window with a "4" in it, which I take to mean that it's configured to show up as SCSI device 4. I don't have anything else at SCSI id 4. Is there any help for me? Ben
