It's a '6 DAT-tapes in a packetī backup unit. I'm not sure it's a dead end, but it sure is a maze. I've connected it to my machine and it will run as a normal tape drive, and you can load/unload the tapes in sequence. mt offline will unload the current tape and load the next one. Getting chio to work depends on your SCSI adapter. On a Future Domain 950 controller it will not work, on an Adaptec 1542 it seems to work, but in the FreeBSD-scsi archives I read something about a bit of broken code in the SCSI drivers, but I can't remember where. Sorry for not giving you a definite yes or no, but I'm also a little lost here. Maybe someone at FreeBSD-SCSI can help you.
