Following is a copy of message posted onto *.freebsd.misc new group re: Problem with tandberg 4100 scsi tape. I have not had any suggestion which have provide a solution to my problem and so am posting this bug report. >I have been trying to get a tandberg 4100 scsi tape >drive running so far unsuccessfully. >My configuration is: >IBM 350/DX4-100 32 MB Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller, >Fujitsu HD scsi 0 >Matshita CD-ROM scsi 1 >Tandberg TDC 4100 scsi 3 Now changed to 2 following mailed suggestion!! > >The tape is recognised at boot as follows: >(ahc0:3:0): "TANDBERG TDC 4100 J04" Type 1 removeable SCSI 2 >st(shc0:3:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0, 512-byte blocks > >all operations done on the tape drive result in the following type of message: > >st0(ahc0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST csi:0,8,0,0 asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB field > replacement unit: 2 >st0: Cannot set selected mode st0: oops not queued > >I have tried a number of suggestions all of which fail with the same codes: >these include: >mt -f /dev/st0ctl.0 density 0x11 >mt -f /dev/st0ctl.0 blocksize 512 > >It has been suggested that the firmware version is the problem, however >the unit works fine with Windows NT and DOS tar for ASPI. > >I have recompiled the kernel with the SCSIDEBUG option on, but all the >scsi commands produce a simillar error: >scsi -f /dev/rst0 -d 0x10 >produces: >st0(ahc0:3:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST csi ..... > >I have read many articles in the various archives reporting simillar problems >but no statement of the solution.

I was also unable to get the drive to work with FreeBSD 2.0.5 using an Adaptec 1542CF on a previous 386 installation. Thank you helping. I am happy to do any testing etc that my be required to fix the problem. John Hartley Graphica Software Pty. Ltd. jbh@labyrinth.net.au North Fitzroy, Victoria Australia.
