You may also want to dig over at hp.com for a firmware upgrade, if you can't find it there, I have a copy of the firmware upgrade
program, and current firmware. The program just flashes the drive's firmware eeprom.
Once you add the above lines and recompile the kernel, you should get a message to the effect of [note latest firmware date of 9608]:
sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
sa0: <HP C1533A 9608> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8)
Mine seems to work well, as a matter of fact, bru is chugging along right now.
