Then you didn't follow this list very closely, Greg. ;-) These drives aren't really SCSI, despite of their 50-pin connector looking like SCSI. They violate the SCSI-2 specs. The violation might be benign for you or not, but we've had several cases here. The last i can remember is that it rejects the WRITE FILEMARKS command which is mandatory per the standard. > > Has anyone found a driver that will work? > > Sure. It's part of the kernel. Well, he's talking about the st(4) driver, most likely. Anyway, without seeing the exact SCSI error message, it's indeed hard to guess. -- 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. ;-)
