Alternatively, you can set the env variable TAPE to it. (Note that mt(1) uses /dev/nrst0 by default -- it wouldn't make much sense otherwise.) > Also, Joerg, since you seem to know the particular device, I have > one last question: No, i don't know this particular device. > The docs indicate that I can jump the 51000HT to be either SCSI-1 or > SCSI-2 and yet the jumper maps show no such jumper. Currently, I'm > SCSI 1. Do you know how to set this? Dunno, but it'll probably only change the way it announces itself in the INQUIRY command. I don't think the drive will behave differently otherwise, so: ``Don't worry''. -- 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. ;-)
