It gets detected correctly as umass0 and the sa0 device gets created. The mt command seems to work, except for writing EOF marks. The tape drive rewinds each time the device is closed, EVEN WHEN USING /dev/nrsa0. Is this a SCSI quirk or question or a USB mailing list question. FWIW, I'm using FreeBSD 4.9 (cvsuped from yesterday.) -scooter
