Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just received said device yesterday; am trying to test it on a "spare" machine here. (That machine had been running -current, but since the target machine is actually running 2.2.6-RELEASE, I put 2.2.6-R on the spare box, and am re-building the kernel now; that takes a while on a 33 MHz 486 with only 8 MB RAM....) Reason I'm asking is that my preliminary testing indicated that chio was able to report status of the changer (though it claimed that everything was in "EXCEPT" status), but it wasn't able to actually move a cartridge from the drive to a slot. The chio program issued an ioctl, but the device apparently doesn't like it. More details should be available by the time this message goes out, but I'm starting to take a look at the code for ch.c so I can better understand what's going on. I haven't (yet) requested the programming information for the changer; I suspect that's likely to be one of my next tasks.
