Try "man 4 st". Without the special action of wiring down the tape in your kernel config it will be tape 0, i.e., st0. The names of the devices and their usage is at the bottom of the st(4) man page - they are devices such as /dev/rst0, /dev/nrst0, etc. If it isn't showing up in the probe you have a different problem. -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
