We just purchased one for one of our > systems and installed it. The kernel recognizes it at bootup: It won't work. It looks like a "SCSI tape drive" but it isn't (I've got the SC30). In my opinion, it's more like a "proprietary SCSI device", and will require special changes/drivers to work with FreeBSD. OnStream is supposed to be providing documentation on their drives, but I wouldn't hold your breath. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
