Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We recently ordered and received an Overland Data 15-slot DLT 7000 SCSI-2 autoloader. It's connected to our FreeBSD 3.4 machine through an Adaptec 2940U2W PCI card. We plan on running Amanda 2.4.1p1 as our backup software but before that I want to make sure I can communicate and control the device. Unfortunately, the tool which was suggested: chio, doesn't appear to be communicating properly with the device. I'm including the dmesg output as well as the output from various commands. From dmesg output: ahc0: rev 0x00 int a irq 12 on pci0.10.0 ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ...

Any information would be appreciated.
