Looks like Conner's version of the HP T4000s, which is actually a QIC standard (3095). I posted fairly trivial patches for the HP a few months ago. Essentially all that was required was setting the PF bit in mode select, but there's no reason to suppose that Conner's SCSI implementation will have the same quirks as HP's. Incidentally, I would interested if anyone else is successfully using the T4000s, since I having trouble reading tapes which is most likely a hardware problem, but I'm not certain. -- Richard
