Well, I got the drive in last night, and played with it both under FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD 2.1.0R. Under 2.1.0R it probes as such: (ncr0:1:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 1 Once I got the active termination problems out of the way it's been working excellently (except for maybe requiring me to mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 2 for each file instead of mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 1. I did realize after putting this tape drive in my system that it is a SCSI-I drive. Will this cause my entire SCSI bus that tape drive is connected to to function as a SCSI 1 bus, or does my SCSI-IIF drive on that bus still have the advantages of SCSI-IIF??? Thanks for any information! -matt -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@Glock.COM http://www.Glock.COM/~mmead/
