If you do for freebsd-scsi, you'll find all the scsi-related people here. So if you don't get an answer, it's most likely not that nobody read your message, but that nobody *has* an answer ready. Me for example, i gave my Viper away more than a year ago, and i know that the ``known rogue'' selection works for my TDC-4222 drive. (Btw., the ``...is a known rogue'' has gone some time ago, since it was confusing too many people -- so don't wait for it.) If it doesn't work for you, it's most likely that you have only two options: give the tape to somebody else who's willing to debug it, or debug it yourself. Looking into the code (sys/scsi/scsiconf.c), you'll notice that you can temporarily turn on SC_SHOWME in the flags of a quirk record, to make the quirk selection code more noisy about its decisions. Perhaps this will get you something further. Sorry that i can't be more helpful. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
