 Please reply off-list if you have an answer, I don't belong to the
list...

I recently purchased a Sony SDT-9000 DDS tape drive to replace an aging
(and noisy!!) HP DDS drive.
I am getting SCSI parity errors when I try to do any writing to the
tape.
The device is recognized SCSI ID is set to 2, and it is terminated
properly.

There are some jumper settings on the bottom of the drive, and an
article on their web-site referencing UNIX* compatibilty.
Could this be the issue?? There tech support wasn't much help, and the
document makes no mention of FreeBSD.

The box is FreeBSD 4.4, and I am using Dump for backups.

Does anyone have any information about Sony DDS tape drives, and
FreeBSD??

If I can't get this thing to work, I own a $500 paperweight :(

Thanks in advance,

-Tony
