Hi,

  I'm trying to install an Imation Travan 3 parallel tape backup in a 
FreeBSD 4.10 box. Has FreeBSD support for it?

  I tried several things, including using the mt command with /dev/ppi0:

# mt -f /dev/ppi0 status
mt: Inappropriate ioctl for device

  And i don't know what that could mean. Any idea?

  I've been looking in the freebsd site, and the web, but I couldn't 
find any references to using this devices (only found a couple messages 
from mailing lists 8 years old asking if there was support for this kind 
of thing).

Thanks
