It's a 2 gig QIC drive, not a normal ``Exabyte'' (i.e., 8 mm) one. It doesn't work at all under FreeBSD. I've got some pages of SCSI debug output lying on my desk at work, will have a look there tomorrow. The EXB-8*** problems are entirely different, they are 8 mm drives. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
