I've got a 15-tape Ecrix changer that seems to work fine. at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass0,sa0) at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (pass1,ch0) at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0) at scbus1 target 6 lun 0 (ses0,pass3,pt0) I haven't used it much (2-3 backups so far), but I haven't seen any problems so far with it. It works with the stock ch(4) driver and chio(1). (sa(4) and mt(1) for the tape drive) Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
