Subject: Archive Python tape drive, 2.1.7 & 1522

Hi,
   at work we've dug up two Archive Pyhton tape drives:
25588-XXX 2.96
28388-XXX 5.45

both are scanned successfully by FreeBSD 2.1.7 at boot time, but any
attempt to access the drive goes nowhere.  Not even "mt -f status"
works.

For what it's worth, the tape drives work under NT 4.0.

What's going on here ?

Darren
